Valtteri Bottas confident ahead of debut season

Williams driver Valtteri Bottas has insisted that he can do "some good things" in his debut season of Formula 1.

The Finn has replaced Bruno Senna ahead of next season and believes that he can quickly get used to competing against the best drivers in the world.

Bottas said: "Being successful in the future, that is my goal as well and I'm in F1 now because I really want to compete against the best in the world.

"I want to do well and one day I want to be the world champion, but next year it's all about learning, getting up to speed as quickly as possible, minimising mistakes and bringing home points.

"I know, and the team knows, once I get to drive more, with mileage and experience, then I can do some good things."

The 23-year-old took part in 15 practice sessions for Williams last season.
