As for Maldonado he is likely to take the empty slot which will be left behind in Lotus as Kimi Raikkonen will move to Ferrari to replace Massa next year. It's also possible for Maldonado to get a seat with Force India.
Williams F1 has signed a three year deal with Massa who is changing team after having driven Ferraris for 8 long years.
