Bottas1Valtteri Bottas is aiming to take his first Formula 1 victory in 2015, after a highly-successful 2014 season which saw him take six podiums and fourth in the standings.

The Finn, driving for Williams, believes victory is a realistic target after the massive step forward the team took in 2014, and is looking to reward the fans for their support.

“Coming into a season after third position in the Constructors’ Championship carries the weight of a lot of expectation,” said Bottas.

“Other teams and our fans are expecting a performance like last year, and all the personnel at Williams have been working tirelessly to make sure this is not only achievable but the benchmark for improvement.

“For much of last year we had the second fastest car, and this year we plan to take every opportunity to challenge at the front. After my first podium in 2014 I hope to continue developing as a driver as I aim for my first win.”
