Nakajima secures Williams drive


Nakajima finished 10th on his debut at Interlagos

Japan's Kazuki Nakajima will race for Williams in Formula One next year.


The team said the 22-year-old, who was promoted from test driver for a debut in the season-ending Brazil Grand Prix, would partner German Nico Rosberg.

The announcement appears to end speculation linking Rosberg to McLaren as Fernando Alonso's replacement.

If Rosberg is out of the frame at McLaren, Renault's Heikki Kovalainen would be favourite to join the team but he has also been linked with Toyota.

The driver market is in flux while Alonso's future remains in doubt.
