Williams driver Valtteri Bottas says his team needs to be able to win races this year after two seasons of finishing third in the constructors' championship without a race victory.
Bottas has scored eight podiums in the last two years, but has yet to win a race in his F1 career. Team-mate Felipe Massa has also finished no higher than second since arriving at the team in 2014 and Bottas believes it is important Williams makes the next step and starts winning races this year.
"As a team we need to be able to win races, which is what we are always trying to do," he said. "I'm sure we have made improvements everywhere as a team, so we're definitely looking to fight for better results this year. I'd like to thank everyone at the factory for their hard work over the winter in getting the car ready.
"This is always a really interesting and exciting time of the year because we have a new car and we can't wait to get it out on track to see how it feels and how fast it is. It's been a good winter and from what I've seen we seem to be headed in a good direction with this car. Testing next week will be our chance to see how our performance has improved since the last race. The development of the FW38 has been all positive in theory, now we just need to see it on track."
Felipe Massa added: "Securing third in the Constructors' Championship for two consecutive years is a great achievement and one that comes with a lot of expectation - a momentum which I am excited to build on going into the new season.
"The team at the factory have worked really hard on the new car and we have spent a lot of time understanding where we need to improve. I have a lot of confidence in the team at Williams and I'm looking forward to getting behind the wheel of the FW38 to see how it performs. I'm equally delighted to be teammates with Valtteri for another year. He is a very talented driver who brings a lot to the team."
