SOCHI, Russia (Reuters) - Valtteri Bottas says he will move aside for Lewis Hamilton if Formula One champions Mercedes ask him to, although there have been no talks about 'team orders' ahead of this weekend's Russian Grand Prix.

The Finnish driver has met the call once already in the first three races, letting team mate Hamilton chase Ferrari's eventual winner Sebastian Vettel on fresher tyres in Bahrain.
