Done deal.

At an odd time of the evening it was confirmed that Pastor Maldonado will keep his seat at Williams. Let's hope he's learnt from this year, improved and will return next season with a more experienced head.

There's still no indication as to who his teammate will be but let's cross our fingers for it to be Rubens Barrichello again.

Other news:

If you didn't already know then this weekend is the Race Of Champions (ROC) held in Dusseldorf, Germany. 

The name is self-explanatory - it's a series or races in various cars, teams are split into 'Team GB', 'Team Germany' etc these teams are made up of champions (race drivers, rally drivers, x-fighters) such as Sebastian Vettel, Romain Grosjean, Vitaly Petrov, Michael Schumacher, Sebastien Ogier, Travis Pastrana and last years winner Filipe Albuquerque, and many more. On Saturday they compete for the nation's and Sunday individually for the driver Champion of Champions.

It's just what everyone needs a week after the Formula 1 season has finished!!
