They have officially confirmed Cosworth engines now, with a driver announcement due on Monday. [

With Barrichello and Hulkenberg (as expected), they will have obviously a great mix between youth and experience. Hulkenberg, who seems to be a great talent, will obviously learn an amazing amount from Rubens, and Rubens will also be able to develop the car very well, probably better than Rosberg and Nakajima have been able to.
However, I can't see them really making any progress next year. With few rule changes, the big four teams from the end of this year (McLaren/Ferrari/Red Bull/Brawn) should theoretically be the fastest cars at the start of next year, and possibly Renault as well, especially if the rumours about Glock joining Kubica are true. As much as it would be great to see Williams making it into this top group, I can't really see them being able to do it - as I also think Rubens might fade off during the season. Added to this, I still have some doubts over the Cosworth engine, but obviously Frank Willians is no stupid man.
