Webber himself added he was delighted to be joining Williams, a team with such a long history in motorsports.

"Mark is self-evidently a highly talented driver," commented Williams Team Principal Frank Williams. "But his tenacity, determination and motivation are also qualities we prize at Williams. As a team, we have traditionally prospered with drivers who have a down-to-earth, 'let's get on with it' attitude.

"The deal I have agreed with Williams today really is the most significant milestone in my career to date, and I have great expectations of what we can achieve together," added. "Of course I am focused on my job with Jaguar Racing for the remainder of this season, but I cannot wait to take up my position with Williams for next year. Besides having an amazing history of success, the team has a reputation for a no-nonsense and straightforward approach to racing, which suits me just fine."
