Nobody likes change

Williams’ recent good from seems to have convinced boss Frank Williams that he is onto a winner. The team has moved to sign Japanese driver Kazuki Nakajima for next season to allow him and Rosberg to continue in tandem. Rosberg was already committed to Williams for 2009 from the contract he signed last winter.

“I am delighted we are able to maintain continuity with our drivers going into 2009,” said Frank Williams. “Nico Rosberg continues to be one of the most capable drivers in the sport. Kazuki is getting stronger all the time and has more to offer and Nico Hulkenberg is developing well.”

Nakajima impressed the team with his points finishes in Australia, Spain, Monaco, Britain and Singapore, while Rosberg’s recent return to form has reassured the team that they have the right formula.
