The future prospects of Nico Rosberg is very much a point of discussion amongst the media and supporters. For Williams team boss Frank Williams he has expressed a desire to keep Nico Rosberg for the 2010 season.

With Rosberg currently fifth in the Drivers championship and having scored all of the team's points so far this year he certainly is certainly delivering for the Williams team. For Frank Williams he has spoken of his desire to keep Nico at the team but is realistic enough to know that McLaren is also interested in him.

In an interview for autosport.com Frank said: "He is very much on our list. I would have thought he must be on the McLaren list if they do drop Kovalainen, and I think Norbert [Haug] would love a German driver. We will see."

He added: "Nico is, on any three or five lap, he is the most exciting driver on the track. He digs himself out of some holes that we put him in some times - comes by three places up at the end of the first lap.

"He is single minded, chirpy, a little arrogant which is good – he is always very good with the promo people, never an objection, he is very good."

As for when a decision will be made in regard to the Williams teams 2010 driver line-up Frank said: "It won't be months away, it will be the next few weeks where we get one position sorted out and hopefully soon after the second one.

"But I was reading the transcript of the FIA press conference, and agreed with what they were saying: it is a work in progress! I should have just said that – and put a sign around my chest this afternoon."
