Nico Rosberg has signed to drive for WilliamsF1, partnering Mark Webber, in 2006.
Frank Williams: I believe I am only one of many in Formula One who is genuinely excited about the prospect of Nico Rosberg.
"Given the attention he commands, I am delighted he is making a contribution to Formula One history and has signed with us for next season.
"His natural talent in the cockpit is equally matched by his intelligence out of it, demonstrated by his depth of technical understanding and communication of data over the months spent as a test driver this season," a team statement said.
"Despite his youth, his wealth of experience reflects the early start made by contemporary drivers and it is significant to note that Nico has recorded more race starts by the age of 20 than his father...recorded in an entire career."
Nico Rosberg: "I am really looking forward to starting work at the end of this month and learning as much from the team as I possibly can.
"I have always wanted to become an F1 driver and be a great F1 driver."
The announcement will no doubt signal the end of Antonio Pizzonia’s relationship with the Grove team.
