Valtteri Bottas believes he can win races with Alfa Romeo after a strong start following his Mercedes exit.
The Finn was with the Silver Arrows for five years and wanted to extend his stay, but the team decided fresh blood was required and promoted George Russell from Williams. After such loyal service, Mercedes were keen to keep Bottas in the sport and helped him secure his current seat at Alfa Romeo.
He hit the ground running, scoring eight points at the Bahrain Grand Prix and extended his record of Q3 appearances to beyond 100. That record streak has since come to and end, but Bottas has scored points at all but two races so far, to build up a total of 46 which has him eighth in the standings.
