Bottas to continue in F3 with ART in 2010

ART Grand Prix will have three drivers defending their colours in the 2010 F3 Euroseries Championship season as Alexander Sims, Valtteri Bottas (Williams F1 test driver) and Jim Pla aim to defend the French team’s crowns that were secured in 2009.

After some stunning performances in 2009, including a win at the Masters of Zandvoort and becoming the best rookie of the year, Bottas’ second season in the sport should yield results that would not only match his talent but also ART Grand Prix’ expectations.

"I’m really looking forward to the coming season in the F3 Euro Series, this winter break feels so long and I would like to be in the car already! With ART Grand Prix I feel very confident as I have a perfect professional environment. Just like any driver, my aim is not just to make up the numbers but to win and I want to do better than last year. I am determined, focused and totally committed. I learn every day and I want to learn more. That’s why I will seize every opportunity to become an even better driver" said Valtteri Bottas.

"I have to say ART Grand Prix is delighted to have been able to gather the three drivers the team wanted to race for them in the F3 Euro Series in 2010. Valtteri’s first year in the series was really convincing and I’m sure he has what it takes to keep up the good work and records registered by the team since 2004" commented Frederic Vasseur.
