Valtteri Bottas says his first Formula One victory feels "surreal" after winning the Russian Grand Prix.
Bottas took the lead with a storming start from third and held off a late charge from Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel in a tense finale to claim his maiden F1 victory on his 81st race start in Sochi. The Finn reckons the win was one of the best performances of his career.
