Bruno Senna was aware of the team's long term plans for some time already, and he accepted the choice of Williams F1 driver line up for the next season which was announced earlier this morning in Great Britain.

The teams confirmed Pastor Maldonado and Valtteri Bottas for the 2013 F1 season.

"Since the beginning of my program with Williams I accepted that I had to share the car with Valtteri Bottas in 15 Fridays as a part of his preparation for a likely debuts in 2013", Bruno explained.

"It has been extremely satisfying to be the team's most regular point scorer and for me to demonstrate my pace in all 20 races. I have learned a lot and improved considerably through the season. I have had a relatively short career so far and feel as though I have come a long way in just a few years".

Senna showed a special gratitude to Sir Frank Williams, a name strongly linked to Formula 1 history.

"I would like to thank the whole team and particularly Frank for giving me the chance of completing my first full season in F1. It has been extremely rewarding to develop the Williams FW34 into a consistently competitive race car and cracking the challenge of the Pirelli tires has been just one of the satisfying points,” the Brazilian driver added.

After fullfilling a busy sponsors agenda at the beginning of the week, Senna returned to Europe last night convinced that today he is a much better driver than the one that started the championship in March in Australia.

"I had some notable achievements this year, such as the fastest lap in the Belgian GP, my favourite track, scoring points on a regular basis and making up many many places through the races. Regularly racing in the top ten has certainly been a step forward in my still relatively short career and has allowed me to further sharpen up my race craft. Working with a competitive and supportive engineering team like Williams has left me well prepared for the next step in my career", Senna said.

Bruno Senna will confirm his Formula 1 plans soon.
