I am sure I will learn a lot with the team, and I hope that together we will achieve excellent results in the years to come. This opportunity gives me even more energy to improve as a driver and achieve my future goals. My ultimate goal would be to become a Formula 1 World Champion one day. \u00bb<\/p>\n<p>\u00ab I take this opportunity to thank Sir Frank Williams and the team management. Thanks also to my clan and my sponsors for their work and support up to this day. \u00bb<\/p>\n<p>Bottas finished third in his first season in the F3 Euro Series with the ART team and is one of the favorites for the 2010 title.<\/p>\n<p>Sir Frank Williams added: \u00ab Valtteri&#8217;s CV is very impressive, with a long list of successes in various junior Formulas.
