The Williams formula one team has confirmed that Rubens Barrichello and Nico Hulkenburg will make up their 2010 driver line-up.
On Monday, the Grove-based squad revealed that the current GP2 Series champion and the team's reserve driver Hulkenburg will be partnered up with F1's most experienced driver Barrichello in 2010.
In a statement, team owner Sir Frank Williams said: "Rubens needs no introduction.
"He is not only the most experienced driver in F1, but a passionate and talented driver who fought hard for the drivers' championship this year.
"Nico Hulkenberg won the GP2 Championship this season as a rookie and has previously won the F3 Euroseries, Formula Masters, A1 GP and Formula BMW Germany."
Williams went on to thank Nico Rosberg and Kazuki Nakajima for their contribution to the team and wished them every success in their future endeavors.
Barrichello's move from champions Brawn GP paves the way for Rosberg to switch to the Brackley-based team in 2010, although Nakajima's future is more uncertain.
