Nakajima won't go to Honda, he is a Toyota protege. Tied up in the Williams/Toyota engine deal is a clause giving Williams access not only to Nakajima, but to any Japanese Toyota young driver, which means that seeing Kamui Kobayashi in next year's Williams is a distinct possibility.

That's not something Frank will be proud of :D

More like he will be forced to take a young Japanese driver, rather than actually want to. Kobayashi is even worse than Nakajima. I can't see that happenning.

Nakajima is doing a decent job in my opinion. More consistent than Nico mostly.

I agree. Rosberg has been rather disappointing this year, and Nakajima has been every bit as good in the races. Rosberg has had one or two moments in qualifying where I have thought 'yes, he has something about him' but generally has not been great.

Rosberg has done very little since Australia. He's had good chances for serious points hauls in Monaco and Canada, in particular, and thrown both away by making silly mistakes. The Williams isn't the best car by any means at present, but if he's as good as he has been rated he should be trouncing Nakajima, which he isn't at the moment.
