Pastor Maldonado: I look forward to a great season

Last season, Pastor Maldonado won the Grand Prix of Spain - it was the first victory for Williams since 2004. Venezuelan racer believes that the new machine FW35 great potential, and the team will be able to regularly fight with the leaders in the upcoming season.

Pastor Maldonado: "We are much closer to the leading teams, proving this last year. As usual the situation is difficult to predict, because you never know what others are doing. However, if you compare what we did a year ago, and what do you do now, it is felt that the team has great potential, we are confident in his car. Before the season, it is very important to be confident and in command. I know that it will be difficult, because the fight is very tight, the pilots very high level, so hopefully we will have another exciting season.

In the last two years, Williams a lot and worked hard and now we have to show what they are capable. Last year we won one race, and I hope this trend will continue. We are waiting for a hard season: changes in the machines are not significant regulations remained about the same as last year, and we have a chance to achieve better results than last year. I have more experience, and I look forward to a great season.

Last year we had a few problems with aerodynamics, but now these problems behind. I want that from the beginning the car was competitive.



I'll have to take on more responsibility, because Valtteri Bottas will debut season in Formula 1, and in the beginning it will be difficult. However, he knows the team, knows her style of work. Valtteri is a great guy, and I hope that together we will do great tournament. The problem is that as often as possible to show good results".
