The Williams F1 team look set to announce their driver line-up for next season at the end of the current campaign. There has been a lot of speculation over the futures of Bruno Senna and Pastor Maldonado. Pastor brought the team their first win since 2004 at this year's Spanish GrandPrix back in May however since then he has failed to score a single point and has been involved in a number of different on track incidents.
Bruno Senna on the other hand has scored points in seven races this season and has shown consistency throughout the season. Williams boss Toto Wolff has said that he will discuss the driver line up with Sir Frank Williams at the conclusion of the season. Williams test and reserve driver Valteri Bottas has been tipped to take one of the Williams seats next season.
Maldonado brings a lot of sponsorship money to the team as his backed by the Venezuelan government owned oil company PDVSA. So if Bottas is to take one of the seats he will have to bring a substantial amount of sponsorship money with him.
If Bottas replaces Senna I believe that Williams should have equal drivers as in my opinion Maldonado isn't ready to lead the team.
So it is going to be extremely interesting to see what happens as a number of team's are going to look different next season as a number of driver's look set to be on the move.
