It's official... Kazuki Nakajima has been confirmed to race at Williams in 2009. Likewise, Nico Rosberg will stay with the team next season.Rosberg was never really in doubt, Frank Williams has made no secret of his admiration for Nico's rapidly developing skills, but speculation was rife that Nakajima would get the boot. The sceptics will say that Kazuki has kept his seat purely because of his Toyota relationship but I disagree. He's done a great job in his rookie season in a difficult car, his performances have been just below the benchmark set by his far more experienced teammate. Williams sighted the fact that they wanted to maintain a stable and familiar driver line-up to contend with the raft of regulation changes taking place next season. They've made a wise decision and if they can squeeze some more performance out of their 2009 car the Williams team has the potential to be the strongest it's been in over a decade. And I for one would love to see Williams back at the pointy end of the grid.
