Valtteri Bottas finished fifth at the weekend's Artic Lapland Rally in Finland, winning a stage along the way. Maurice Hamilton looks at why such achievements deserve respect and encourages Bottas to use the momentum to challenge Lewis Hamilton this year
Respect to Valtteri Bottas for taking part in -- and finishing -- the Artic Lapland Rally last week.
