Maldonado Wants World Title With Williams

Venezuelan F1 driver Pastor Maldonado reckons he has at least one year left with his current Williams team and he would like to show his gratitude to the team by winning the World title.

The Williams driver has made headlines this season, although not always for the right reasons. While the Venezuelan has shown signs of brilliance and speed, claiming pole position and the race victory in Barcelona, he has also been involved in several notable incidents.

In the last four races Maldonado has been involved in three accidents, which have resulted in him being stripped of a point; reprimanded and fined and slapped with a drive-through penalty.

But despite all the negatives, he reckons he has what it takes to win the Drivers title and hopes to secure that title with Williams.

Speaking To AS, the 27 year old driver said: "I would, without doubt, stay there a while, a year at least.  Before leaving Williams I would like to win the Championship with them. I would give the opportunity for this great team that gave me the opportunity to get into F1 for the first time, to win a world championship."

However, the Venezuelan has admitted that nothing is set in stone and that in Formula 1 you never know what might happen. With nine more races to go this season, Maldonado lies 11th in the Championship, having scored 29 points.
