Valtteri Bottas has insisted that there are no nerves ahead of his race debut thanks to the preparations he and Williams have made.

Bottas also reckons that he will be in a position to push team-mate Pastor Maldonado sooner rather than later. "I hope in the first half (of the year) I can get as quick as possible to the same speed because I know he's strong. He's been impressive in qualifying and some races," he added. "He's a good benchmark, who can take everything out of the car when it matters. If I can get quite quickly to the same level it should be good. "It would be a good thing for me and the team if we are really close. "I don't expect to be far off from him. If I do, I need to work out why and improve. "I'm never satisfied really. Until you are quicker than the other one, you cannot be satisfied."
