Valtteri Bottas insists he isn't getting "stressed" over the fact he's yet to win a race this season, whilst Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton has two to his name from the opening six races.
The Finn currently sits fourth in the standings behind Hamilton, Sebastian Vettel and Daniel Ricciardo – all of which have two wins apiece. Bottas meanwhile has finished runner-up on three occasions in Bahrain, China and Spain.
Bottas is hoping this weekend's Canadian Grand Prix marks a turning point in his season following a run of bad luck, but isn't too concerned by the lack of wins and is "sure" they will come eventually.
"I've definitely always liked it here. I love the track; I love the place and I've normally had pretty decent races here, so we want to do that again as a team and me personally," he said on Thursday.
"Of course, winning here would mean a lot – like winning every race for me. Like last year, if the trend stays similar, that we are weak in Monaco and good here, hopefully we can have a good weekend.
"I'm just really looking ahead. It's still very early in the season, anything can happen, and I hope I have had my run of bad luck for the year and that things can turn around. There's no point really in stressing about it. I just want to keep going. I want to win races and I'm sure it will come."
Hamilton meanwhile, who is a Montreal master with six wins is eyeing a seventh which would tie him with Michael Schumacher's record.
"Each driver has strengths and weaknesses," added the Briton. "There are 21 circuits – you can't be perfect at every single one. There are certain circuits that will suit you more than others. This has always been one of those circuits for me.
"I've always been very aggressive on kerbing and being close up to the wall. This is a place where you really need to utilise that confidence. It's just always been a great racing circuit. It's not the hardest of circuits but it's been one that I have loved."
Hamilton has however admitted to some concerns that Mercedes might suffer as it will be the only manufacturer that isn't bringing an engine upgrade this weekend due to a quality issue that was discovered at the last minute.
