F1: Silver Arrows focusing on France return after Bottas podium

Lewis, who combated rising engine temperatures in Canada, cannot wait to get the new power-unit installed, and says he will be going all out to put pressure on Vettel in the hope that Ferrari will make a mistake. Lewis said: "I was on the edge waiting for that power to drop away and disappear. But the engine kept on going. This was the seventh race on this engine, so it's seen it's like and I could have lost a lot more points.

"We all know that Ferrari have had a better package and done a better job all round, we have got to do more and keep on working and stay positive. There is no reason to lose control or anything like that. We have to keep our heads down and stay motivated because Ferrari will falter. We have to keep on applying the pressure to make sure I come back stronger in the next race."

Valtteri's second place means he moves above Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo into third place in the drivers' championship, yet the Finn admitted he did not have enough in the tank to challenge Vettel for the win.

Valtteri said: "Since lap one, Ferrari seemed to be a bit quicker all the time and they could control the race. We were really pushing on it but we got in trouble at the end with running out of fuel. I think this was the maximum. Second place as a driver when you really want to win races is not the best place to be. Our car is just not quick enough, so I don't get too upset being second but no doubt I really want to win."

Valtteri has been desperately unlucky this season and is due a change in fortune at the French Grand Prix on 24th June. He added: "There has been many occasions this year that it has been pretty close, so for sure we'll keep pushing on that -- but as a team we need to improve, and also for myself, trying to find every single little bit I can."
