As the Williams Martini team prepares for the 2015 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix team driver Valtteri Bottas is aiming to secure fourth place in the Drivers championship. Despite some comments to the effect that the fight between himself and Räikkönen does not carry much importance Valtteri still rates achieving this position is "important". Prior to the last race of the season Valtteri currently leads Räikkönen by a single point.

Valtteri wrote: "I go into the last race of the championship in fourth place in the Drivers' Championship, just one point ahead fifth."

"I know many people would say it's not important to finish fourth, fifth, or sixth in the championship but I don't look at it that way.

"For me every position is important. I want to finish as high up in the championship as possible and, for me, that's the way to go.

"It's certainly going to be close in Abu Dhabi because whoever finishes in front of the other will get that fourth place."

As for the Williams Martini team securing third in the constructors championship Valtteri added: "Even for the drivers, the result in the Constructors' Championships means a lot because it's nice to secure the best possible position."

"It's the same final position as last year, so I'm proud that even with a smaller team we can fight with the biggest teams. That's good but we all want more."
