Reflecting on his first season with Mercedes, Valtteri Bottas admits he hoped for more than just two Formula One grand prix victories in 2017.
The Finn currently sits third in the drivers' championship and has an outside shot of being this season's runner-up to Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton. Bottas needs to win in Abu Dhabi with Sebastian Vettel finishing ninth or lower.
The former Williams driver claimed wins in Russia and Austria -- defeating Hamilton's main championship rival Vettel on both occasions. His strong start to life at Mercedes resulted in a one-year contract extension, but since the summer break, he has struggled considerably for form.
