MONZA, Italy - Valtteri Bottas believes Felipe Massa has been very underestimated in his career, paying tribute to his teammate after the Brazilian announced his retirement from Formula One.Massas 15-year career will come to an end after the season finale in Abu Dhabi. Bottas, who has been teammates with Massa since 2014, paid tribute to his teammate and said fans never appreciated the extent of his talent.For sure hes a very nice guy to work with, Bottas said. Hes still fast, hes a very underestimated driver. For sure hes going through a tricky period now, but I respect him as a driver and a person. With his experience I could learn different things in different tracks driving wise.Our way of setting the cars up are a bit different, so from that side we didnt change much, but I dont think its always one way and if you ask him maybe in some areas he has also learned from me.Massas retirement opens the door for Williams to sign another driver for 2017, with Jenson Button one of the names repeatedly linked with a drive this year. Bottas future is also yet to be confirmed but the Finn hopes to announce his plans for next year soon.When asked whether there were any news regarding his own F1 future, Bottas added: Not yet, hopefully soon there will be. Hopefully very soon there will be progress.Im quite confident about that, whether Ill be allowed to tell you anything, thats a different story. Authentic Custom Heat Jersey .
