Bottas is happy to have silenced his critics by winning the Russian Grand Prix ahead of the Eifel Grand Prix.
 
"Obviously giving everything every single weekend and being this close to win, now finally got it and finally things went my way as well," Bottas said.
 
"I consider myself a bit lucky today as well. I take it, I feel I've earned it.
 
"The race pace was really good so that's why a bit of a burst to the critics and the people who tell me I should give up and so on," he added.
 
"That gives me so much energy and power."
 
Mercedes remain at the top of Constructors' standings followed by second-placed Red Bull and third-placed McLaren-Renault.
