F1: 5 drivers who need to up their game for the remainder of the season

#2 Valtteri Bottas

Bottas was partly fortunate to get a third at Monza

To be fair to Bottas, one doesn't quite know how to label Bottas' 2018 season.

Clearly, before the mid-season break, he was touted as among the quickest but unluckiest of drivers. His woes underlined by the non-finish at Baku, a track where he seemed certain to win.

His troubled continued at Spielberg, Austria where immediately after another non-finish he would fail to manage a podium at Silverstone.

Finally, at the Hungaroring, it can be safe to say, a Grand Prix that he'd much rather forget, it didn't help the talented Finn one bit to have made contact on two occasions, first with Seb and later with Ricciardo.

As he failed to finish inside the top four at Hungary, it didn't help his cause to have played clearly a second-fiddle to Lewis at Monza. Despite trailing Raikkonen on the standings where he's currently fourth, Bottas would be more worried about having gone winless this year.
