Hülkenberg to partner Barrichello at Williams?
Formula One news: Hülkenberg to partner Barrichello at Williams? - GPUpdate.net Formula One
With various rumours circulating surrounding drivers' futures for 2010, Willi Weber is the latest to fuel speculation after hinting that one of his drivers, GP2 Champion Nico Hülkenberg, could be racing at Williams to partner Rubens Barrichello next season.
With German Hülkenberg achieving 10 podium finishes, 5 race wins and a century of points to clinch this year's GP2 honours for the ART team, the Williams test driver is hotly tipped for a full-time race position with the Grove outfit ahead of 2010 although the team is yet confirm either its drivers or engine supplier.
"I think he has new teammate Rubens Barrichello under control," Weber, who also manages 7-time World Champion Michael Schumacher, told Bild when talking of Hülkenberg's chances for 2010. "Great expectations."
The possibility remains that Brawn's Barrichello could effectively swap places with Williams' Nico Rosberg, with German manufacturer Mercedes possibly buying into the championship winning team.

Let me be the first to say "Who?"
I'd actually like to see Barrichello stay where he's at because it'd be a shame to see Brawn lose both of their drivers, assuming that the speculation that Button will leave is true.

I think Button will leave....I think he lost all desire to stay with Brawn imo, even though he should. I think it will good for Hulkenburg to be in F1...although Brawn would have to be completely stupid to lose both Button and Barichello.
