#4 Valtteri Bottas
The first half of 2018 could have been so much more sweeter for Mercedes' Valtteri Bottas.
The Fin racer has had many close moments of claiming a Grand Prix win but last year's race in Abu Dhabi is still his previous victory.
Bottas could have been leading the championship after Baku but luck jumped on Hamilton's car instead.
One positive Bottas can take into the summer break is sealing a contract extension with Mercedes and many would agree that he has more than deserved keeping his seat.
Still nine chances for Bottas to claim his fourth F1 victory of his career before the curtain closes in November.
