Jenson Button has secured a deal to stay with the BAR-Honda team in 2006 after agreeing a £10 million multi-year deal, according to a report on Autosport's website.
Williams is reported to have accepted a cash deal to release the Briton from his commitments to the team.
The deal brings to an end the long-running dispute between Williams and Button.
Button publicly announced in July that he did not wish to switch teams despite having a binding contract to do so.
While Williams has refused to comment on the news, according to Autosport Button will pay not to drive for the team and will then be re-imbursed by BAR-Honda.
An announcement is expected before the Brazilian Grand Prix, and, should it happen it is likely to shake loose the driver market.
Nico Rosberg is considered a hot favourite to take Button's place in the vacant Williams slot but British hope Anthony Davidson and Antonio Pizzonia are also in the frame.
Button's confirmation alongside Ruben Barrichello in the BAR-Honda race line-up, puts Takuma Sato's position with the team in doubt, unless the Japanese driver is willing to accept a third driver role.
who bets he wants out this time next year?????

I think the BAR team looks pretty strong for next year
I like Jens - nice chap, and it will be good see how he copes with Rubens as a team mate.
Re Williams - ditch Webber - totally overated - Heidfield has been given the short straw throughout the season and has kicked Webber's arse !
Well, not entirely unexpected - I cannot figure out why Davidson wasn't thrown in to the deal - the least he deserved if you ask me!
Much as I think Quick Nick is good, if I had to put my money on one of the two drivers to win a race, it'd go on Webber. I really do believe that once he gets the win monkey off his back he'll go on to greater things. At the moment he's overdriving what is fundamentally a crap car.
