Nico Hülkenberg will be departing the Williams team at the end of his rookie Formula 1 season, according to manager Willi Weber. At present, no drivers have been confirmed at the Grove-based squad ahead of 2011 although the German claims that GP2 Champion Pastor Maldonado has signed a deal.

"Nico is leaving Williams,” Weber is quoted at saying by German newspaper Express. “Negotiations are no longer continuing for Williams and Nico but Pastor Maldonado has signed a contract.”

Weber, who also manages Michael Schumacher, went on to add that he hopes to see Hülkenberg join Ferrari at a later date, before stressing that the current 2009 GP2 title winner will not be leaving F1.

“Nico will be driving in Formula 1 in 2011, you know me,” he concluded.
