Nakajima confirmed at Williams

As we suggested would happen yesterday, Williams has announced that Kazuki Nakajima has been signed up as Nico Rosberg's team-mate next year. He replaces Alexander Wurz. The news means that there is now no hope at all for McLaren to get Rosberg for 2008 although there remains speculation that Nico could go to McLaren in 2009 although this depends of performances clauses in his contract with Williams as it is believed that the team has an option that locks Rosberg in for 2009 if the results are good enough in 2008. What is not clear is what the team has to do.
