Valtteri Bottas thinks that it is far too early in the season to be making suggestions that the 2017 title will be fought between two drivers. So far, Sebastian Vettel and Lewis Hamilton have taken a win each, while their respected team mates Kimi Raikkonen and Valtteri Bottas have failed to match their pace.
Hamilton and Vettel have locked out the front row in both Australia and China, with many expecting a straight fight between the Brit and the German for this year's title.

Bottas Expresses Confidence in Hamilton: “He Still Has the Talent”
Bottas, who moved to Mercedes at the start of the year, thinks that people shouldn't be so quick to assume that he or someone else are out of the championship race.
"I think it's way too early to say there are only two drivers in the championship battle. We've only done two races in this long season, so I wouldn't say it's going to be all about Lewis and Sebastian," Bottas said.
"In the end, of course, results are all that matter and I'm very keen to get the proper results as soon as possible because every point I lose now will affect by the end of the year.
"But I don't feel I'm in a rush with anything. I feel that if I keep doing what I'm doing, progress every single day with the team, I'm sure we'll be at a very, very good level soon, so I don't feel any panic or rush to prove anything. The team knows exactly where I am with my performance and that's what counts."
