For Williams Chief Race Engineer Xevi Pujolar new 2013 race driver Valtteri Bottas is far from being a rookie driver as he prepares for the start of the 2013 Formula one season.

But for Pujolar Valtteri certainly has the confidence of an experienced driver.

In an interview for Autosport.com Pujolar said: "Because he has been with us for a long time and because he has done a few Friday sessions, we know him well. We don't feel like he is a rookie.

"His feedback is good as well."

In regards to the pairing of Valtteri with Pastor Maldonado Pujolar believes that the pair will get the best out of each other over the course of the year. And Pujolar knows Pastor well being his race engineer in the 2011 and 2012 Seasons.

Pujolar added: "Pastor improved a lot towards the end of last year and Bottas, when we was in the car, showed he had good performance."

"If he performs this way, it will be good to have both pushing each other, and the two car crews so that there can be a competition in the team all the time that we are working together."
