LE CASTELLET, France (Reuters) - Valtteri Bottas can still challenge runaway leader Lewis Hamilton for the Formula One title but he needs to adapt his driving style to do it, according to Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff.

The Finn finished runner-up in Sunday's French Grand Prix, a distant 18 seconds behind his team mate, and is 36 points adrift in the standings after eight races.
