Nico Rosberg could be eyeing a switch from Mercedes to Ferrari, a “source” has told a German tabloid newspaper.<\/p>\n
Mercedes chiefs Ross Brawn and Norbert Haug in India indicated they want to keep the 26-year-old beyond his contract, which according to reports is set to run until the end of next season.<\/p>\n
But they also acknowledged that the “market is open”.<\/p>\n
“In general you can go to the wrong team at the wrong team, which is a mistake every driver should try to avoid,” said motor sport director Haug.<\/p>\n
Interestingly, Rosberg’s link to Ferrari follows the latest controversy involving Felipe Massa, after which the Brazilian continued to angrily slam his nemesis Lewis Hamilton.<\/p>\n
Ferrari has said it will honour Massa’s 2012 contract but may look to replace him beyond then.<\/p>\n
Explaining Massa’s anger after his collision and penalty, Hamilton’s boss Martin Whitmarsh noted that the 30-year-old is “under enormous pressure within that team”.<\/p>\n
The Cologne tabloid Express, meanwhile, noted that Mercedes is actually yet to confirm Rosberg, even for next year.<\/p>\n
And the newspaper quoted a source as saying: “Nico is thinking about Ferrari.”<\/p>\n
