Valtteri Bottas has admitted that he has no problem sharing data with new team mate Lewis Hamilton, after the Briton announced he was against the procedure.
Hamilton's believes have brought split opinion around the community, as he thinks the driver should learn themselves where to be quicker.
When asked what he thought about Hamilton's comments about data sharing, Bottas said on Thursday: "No matter what is said, it will not change anything.
"Each driver has to think not only about themselves but also how to move the team forward. And if it makes the car faster, it is in the interests of both the drivers. I have no problem with sharing the data."
Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff also played down the controversy, saying: "It's amazing how reporters can create a controversy where there is none. "But a good headline helps sell newspapers. If the article says everything is calm at Mercedes then you don't sell as many papers or attract as many readers," he added.
