Maldonado 'happy' to leave Williams
Pastor Maldonado says he is "happy" to be leaving Williams as he has wanted to part ways with the team for a while already.
Earlier this week, Williams confirmed that Felipe Massa would be joining them next year, replacing Maldonado as Valtteri Bottas' new team-mate.
The decision did not come as a shock as Maldonado's dissatisfaction with Williams had long been known.
"I am very happy," he told Autosport.
"Since a couple of months I was in conversation with the team and I wanted to leave the team. That is it. I am very happy for that.
"It was my decision. In Singapore I decide to leave the team more or less and it was 100 percent my decision."
