Grove, Oxfordshire, England (Sports Network) - The Williams Formula One team named their driver lineup for the 2010 season on Monday, with Rubens Barrichello and Nico Hulkenberg replacing Kazuki Nakajima and Nico Rosberg.

Barrichello won two grand prix this year in Brawn GP's sensational maiden F1 season. The Brazilian finished 18 points behind world champion and teammate Jenson Button. Brawn also clinched the 2009 constructors' title.

"Rubens needs no introduction," Williams team principal Frank Williams said in a statement. "He is not only the most experienced driver in Formula One, but a passionate and talented driver who fought hard for the drivers' championship this year."

Barrichello, an 11-time grand prix winner, is expected to become the first driver to make 300 career F1 starts later next year.

Hulkenberg won the GP2 Series championship in his rookie season this year.
