The British Formula 1 team Williams Grand Prix Engineering has announced an unchanged driver line-up for the 2009 season.

In a media statement, the Grove based team said 23-year-old Nico Rosberg will again be partnered by the Toyota-backed Japanese Kazuki Nakajima, who is also 23 but a few months older.

Rosberg's German countryman Nico Hulkenberg, meanwhile, a F3 Euroseries frontrunner, is staying as test driver for a second year.

"Nico Rosberg continues to be one of the most capable drivers in the sport," said team boss Sir Frank Williams. "Kazuki is getting stronger all the time and has more to offer and Nico Hulkenberg is developing well."
