Top Car Online News: Mercedes Hints No Plans To Change Drivers
The Best Car Review Magazine Latest News
Breakthrough China GP winner Nico Rosberg admitted this week
that he could imagine staying with the German marque for the
rest of his F1 career.
“I see no reason why he shouldn’t stay for a
long time,” agreed Norbert Haug, Stuttgart carmaker
Mercedes‘ motor racing vice-president, in the pages of
Germany’s Sport Bild.
“We’re embarking on the road to success
together, so what could be better?”
Indeed, it is the future of Rosberg’s teammate, the
great Michael Schumacher, that is much more unclear.
The 43-year-old’s contract runs out this year, but he
is performing better than in 2010 and 2011 with the improved
W03 car.
“I don’t think he is going to go to another
team,” said Haug, indicating that if
Schumacher
does stay in F1 beyond 2012, it will be at the wheel of a
Brackley-built car.
German Schumacher showed his passion is still strong
recently in Bahrain, hitting out at the heavily-degrading
Pirelli tyres.
“I can understand his frustration,” team boss
Ross Brawn told the DPA news agency.
“He has been very strong this year, and when we get
everything right, we will see the results.”
