Valtteri Bottas insists he is not feeling the pressure of the title fight despite falling 29 points behind Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton after a below-par Canadian Grand Prix.
After a strong start to the season Bottas has lost momentum at the past two races -- he was a victim of a pit-lane clash with Max Verstappen in Monaco, relegating him to third, before a poor weekend in Canada saw him qualify sixth (after a spin in Q3) and finish fourth. Hamilton duly won on both occasions.
"I can't really afford many of these type of weekends if I want to fight for the title," Bottas said after the Canadian Grand Prix.
