Williams have confirmed an unchanged driver line-up for the 2009 season with Kazuki Nakajima retaining his seat alongside Nico Rosberg.

Nakajima has had an mixed bag of results in his first full season in Formula One, sparking some rumours that his seat may be safe. However, Williams have confirmed that the Japanese driver will be given a second season at Grove.

Meanwhile Rosberg, who in the past has been linked to a McLaren race-seat, will be staying at Williams for fourth successive campaign.

The team also revealed that former A1GP Champion Nico Hulkenberg will take up duties as the team's official test driver for a second year.

"I am delighted we are able to maintain continuity with our drivers going into 2009," announced team boss Sir 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."

"Good on Williams. Two great drivers, two great men. I have never personally heard any bad press on their attitudes. I saw a interview with Kaz and was impressed with his poise. Thank you Williams for sticking with them."
