Default Rubens Barrichello has agreed to join Williams for next season.

BREAKING NEWS: Rubens Barrichello has agreed to join Williams for next season. He will partner GP2 Champion Nico Hülkenberg, opening the door for Rosberg to take his seat. Patrick Head has welcomed Rubens to Williams as some 'invaluable experience'.

Here's wishing him well.

My vote is it was unfortunate that team orders meant Mr. Barrichello
had to forego honours rightfully his so that the star of Mr Schumacher
could be burnished infinitesimally brighter.

I don't like Rubens, but I DO like Hulkenberg!! I think with all the experience Rubens does have however, this will be a great pairing for the rookie Hulkenberg. Can't wait to see what Hulkenberg can do in his rookie year!

poor guy always takes a dive for the team True racer who loves what he does after more races than anyone. I would like to see him get it this year and run one year as Champion.

I've yet to see an official confirmation of this deal. Looks like it's still up in the air.
