The Finnish driver is pleased with his win in Austria and he will be looking to record another win on July 12.
“There was definitely quite a bit of pressure. One safety car was OK but by the last I was like, ‘Come on — again?’” a relieved Bottas said on Fox Sports.
“There were so many opportunities for Lewis to take the lead if I made a small mistake and he was really quick today. But I managed to keep it together, could really control the race from my side, and there’s obviously no better way to start the season.”
Hamilton's teammate Valtteri Bottas, who still has a chance of winning his maiden Formula One title, is placed second on the standings - 74 points behind Hamilton.
Leclerc and Norris are placed second, and third respectively on the standings and they will be targeting a win in the second round.
