Although there has been no official confirmation from either party as yet, reports in Autosport indicate that the Grove based Williams team will reignite their old relationship with Cosworth engines for the upcoming 2010 Formula One championship season.

After making their split with Toyota official recently, reports were that they were trying to reignite another old partnership, one with Renault that was terminated at the end of the 1997 season after Jacques Villeneuve has wrapped up his one and only world championship crown with the team. However, the British magazine claims that top officials from the French company have revealed that they are no longer part of Williams’ future plans.

Other reports leaned more toward a Mercedes/Williams partnership, however that too has been negated leaving a deal with Cosworth as the most plausible course of action, especially with high praise from team boss Patrick Head....

"They are certainly very committed to it (their F1 return) and working hard. They have been one of the options but we are not stating where we cast our final hook in terms of what is available to us until after the final race of the season. But I think our design office know what they are designing for," he was quoted as saying on Autosport.
