Nico Rosberg has confirmed he will remain at Williams in 2009, however, his long-term future has yet to be decided.

Although Williams have often stated that Rosberg is not for sale, the German has been tipped to switch allegiance to either BMW or McLaren in the future.

That move, though, won't be happening at the end of this year as the 23-year-old has confirmed he is contracted to Williams for the 2009 season. However, he admits that campaign could be his last with the Grove outfit.

"The future is here. Well, next year. Then we'll see," Rosberg told GPWeek.

"I feel very comfortable at the team. Of course I feel good. I've been with the team a long time, I get on with everybody so it's very nice. Just the car isn't fast enough."

And a faster car is what Rosberg will need if he hopes to follow in his father Keke's footsteps by winning a Drivers' Championship title.

Asked whether he believed Williams could provide him with what he needs to win a title, the German said: "I don't really want to answer that at the moment.

"We have other things to worry about and we need to get back in the right direction."

Rosberg is currently 13th in the Drivers' Championship having bagged eight points, including a podium finish in the season-opening Australian GP.
