Mercedes driver Valtteri Bottas describes his season as "disappointing and amazing" with the Finn still winless...
Bottas' last Grand Prix win was in Abu Dhabi at the end of last season and he's now gone 14 races without a win.
"For me, it's quite disappointing and amazing that I haven't won a race this year," Bottas explained. "It's been quite close many times, especially in the first third of the season. I really want to win races, that's why I'm here.
"I don't think the only way the next few races is that Lewis is secure in the title. If I have a good pace, a good qualifying, I'm strong in the race, I think I can definitely win - but for sure it's a bit more simple if Lewis secures the title.
"I don't really want to think about it too much. As long as I perform well, then hopefully I will get the results I deserve."

Bottas last week gave his team-mate a helping hand in a 'support-role'; when Valtteri held up Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen as much as he possibly could in order for his team-mate Hamilton to catch up.
He did this very well and it was a sterling effort from both Mercedes drivers, who eventually both finished on the podium following Max Verstappen's penalty.
