Williams F1 has confirmed its 2013 driver line up, with Pastor Maldonado and Valtteri Bottas taking on next season's challenge with the Grove-based outift. Bottas, who has been the team's official reserve driver this season, replaces Bruno Senna. The decision leaves the Brazilian fighting for the few remaining F1 seats on the grid.
"It has always been my life-long dream to compete in the Formula 1
World Championship," Bottas said. "To do so with one
of the most legendary teams in the sport is incredibly special. I’ve
really enjoyed my three years with Williams so far and feel very at home
here so my goal was always to stay for 2013 and progress to a race
seat."
"I’m looking forward to getting my Formula 1 career started and enjoying a lot of success with Williams."
Maldonado was equally delighted with the news which sees him enter a
third campaign with Williams. The Venezuelan, who claimed a memorable
victory at the Spanish Grand Prix earlier this season, is eager for more
success in 2013.
"I’m really enjoying my time with Williams and I was very happy when I
was told that I would be continuing with the team in 2013," he said.
"2012 was a memorable year for me with the win in Barcelona and we made a
big step forward in terms of performance. I have a lot of confidence in the team and hopefully next year will see
us move even further up the grid and taste more success."
