Valtteri Bottas

Valtteri Bottas out-performed his experienced teammate to finish an impressive season though he has a challenging 2014 ahead of him.

The Finnish driver finished the season with four points after his eighth place finish at the US GP. That performance helped him stay ahead of his more fiery outgoing teammate Pastor Maldonado. That’s not the only place where Bottas beat his teammate. He out-qualified the Venezuelan driver by 12-7 with a third place in qualifying in Canada an achievement for the rookie. A former GP3 winner, Bottas managed to keep it steady and bring home the Williams in 17 races with just two retirements in Hungary and the season ending race in Brazil an achievement for a driver in his debut season. This despite the Williams FW35 struggling for pace. 2014 would be challenging one yet another learning experience as Bottas would drive along-side veteran driver Felipe Massa but much of it would depend on the package delivered by Williams.
