LONDON: Formula 1 always goes a little quiet over Christmas, but one team that has been making waves — both publicly and behind the scenes — are Williams.
The team that dominated F1 for much of the 1980s and 1990s are one of only two outfits still with an obvious vacancy in their driver line-up — the other being back-of-the-grid HRT.
And it seems that Brazil’s Rubens Barrichello, the veteran who has driven for the team for the last two seasons, is back in with a chance of staying with them for 2012. “Barrichello, who appeared to be out of the running as his 19th season in F1 drew to a close in November, has come back into the frame and now has a reasonable chance of a Williams drive in 2012,” said sources closed to the driver.

"With all the changes for next year on the engine side and engineers," he said at the season-ending Brazilian Grand Prix, "it would be clever from the team to keep the drivers and keep on going. I'm not pushing them, I'm just trying to show them that is the way to do it."
Ironically, Head's exit from the F1 operation may smooth the way for Barrichello to return, as the Briton was allegedly growing weary of the driver's reaction to the team's struggle for competitiveness, but it appears likely that no decision will be taken until the outcome of Williams' talks with potential sponsors in Qatar, which could influence - or free up - the choice.

Force India outcast Adrian Sutil and Barrichello's fellow Brazilian Bruno Senna, as well as former Toro Rosso pilots Jaime Alguersuari, Sebastien Buemi and Vitantonio Liuzzi, have been mentioned in connection with the Williams opening
