Valtteri Bottas believes he can win with Williams next year - a belief which persuaded the Finn to stay with the team for 2017. Bottas has raced for the Grove-based team since 2013, stepping up to a race seat after 15 outings in first practice the previous season.His best result to date is second place, which he achieved at the 2014 British and German grands prix, but the Finn believes 2017s new rules will give him the chance to go one better with Williams. I think it is a great opportunity for a team to catch up the leading teams when there is a big rule change like next year, Bottas told Sky Sports News HQ.Williams normally have been pretty good after a regulation change, they have been very quick in learning the new car and finding the latest tweaks and I believe in this team. I believe we have deserved much more than we have achieved together and I think that is possible and why I am here. Williams confirm Bottas and Stroll Lance Stroll will partner Valtteri Bottas at Williams in 2017 Bottas is thought to have been courted by Renault as they sought to revamp their 2017 line-up, but the Finn believes he has a better chance of success at Williams.I still believe we can do better than we have done in the last three years. That is why I still believe in this team and why I want to stay, he added.Now the only thing I am thinking is I want us to perform better, I want us to achieve more together and that is the only thing in my mind together. I believe we can win races together, but we really need to work hard for that and lets hope next year it is possible. After three years alongside Felipe Massa - a veteran of almost 250 races - Bottas now will find himself as the senior driver at the team as he embarks on a partnership with 18-year-old Lance Stroll, who only graduated to car racing in 2014.Senior driver sounds a bit weird, Ive just started, but there are much younger drivers now in Formula 1! said Bottas.I think he is a very talented driver, seeing his career before F1 has been very impressive, hes won every championship hes been in and has dominated F3 which is a very high-level series. He is obviously a talented racing driver, he is going to learn quickly, and as a team we are all going to help him to learn to quickly and I see no problem for him to be very quickly up to speed. Im sure we can be a good pair.

Louis Cardinals pitcher Jaime Garcia will have surgery on his left shoulder this week and is expected to miss the rest of the season.Dylan Hartley says England want to prove they are Europes dominant force when they take on France on Saturday. Victory in Paris will earn England their first Grand Slam since 2003, in what is coach Eddie Jones first Six Nations championship.Hartleys men sealed the title on Sunday, Scotlands victory over the French at Murrayfield confirming England as champions after they had defeated Wales the previous day. But the skipper maintains his players are determined to celebrate victory on the pitch, rather than the team hotel, come Sunday night.The championship came our way, we had a beer and drew a line under it, said the Northampton hooker. It was a pretty average way to win it if Im honest. Thats why the lads say we go again, we go and win in France and enjoy it. Hartley missed out on the Grand Slam in 2011 and 2013 The biggest challenge for the guys is mentally turning up. We can say all the right things, but unless we are training hard and preparing correctly, its just words. The way training has gone this week, the intensity has gone up a level. That comes from the top. Eddie has been cracking the whip.Sports psychologist Jeremy Snape - a former Leicestershire cricketer - has been working with the squad this week but Hartley said there is no lack of determination or motivation.Jeremy has beeen in the background - hes a sounding board for players, he said.dddddddddddd But the squad is that motivated, we dont need him to tell us how to win this weekend.Loosehead prop Mako Vunipola will scrum down with Hartley, with Joe Marler dropped to the bench, and Hartley says the Saracens forward can be a big player for the team at the Stade de France. Eddie Jones (L) and Hartley plot ahead of Saturdays big game Its obvious for everyone to see, the way he carries the ball, the way he tackles, competes at the breakdown, he said. Over the last few seasons hes really added to his set-piece game. I know scrummaging with him how strong he is. It will be a big test for him out in France but one he can step up in.Hartley missed out on Grand Slams in 2011 and 2013 at the hands of Ireland and Wales, but insists memories of those games are irrelevant this week.We havent really talked about it. There are individuals in our team who have experienced loss, failure. But these setbacks are what motivate people to not let that happen again, he said.One more game to be the most dominant side in Europe.
