Rumours Nico Rosberg could be flirting with a switch to Ferrari are gaining strength this week.<\/p>\n

\"R11Ind-F1-08\"<\/p>\n

A source triggered the speculation by telling the Cologne publication Express that the 26-year-old is “thinking about” the famous Italian team.<\/p>\n

Mercedes’ Rosberg, however, has a contract for 2012, as does Fernando Alonso’s Ferrari teammate Felipe Massa.<\/p>\n

But Bild newspaper reports that Rosberg “has a clause that allows him an early termination under certain circumstances”.<\/p>\n

After India, Rosberg openly criticised his race strategy that appeared to have favoured teammate Michael Schumacher.<\/p>\n

At the same time, Express reports that Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo was dismayed with Massa’s performance in India, featuring a crash with Lewis Hamilton and two near-identical mistakes that damaged his suspension.<\/p>\n

“In the week before India, Nico was in Maranello,” another source is quoted as revealing.\u00a0 “Ferrari wants to have him.”<\/p>\n

When asked if he will be at Mercedes next year, Rosberg answered: “I don’t want to say anything about it.<\/p>\n

“We are having discussions about a long-term cooperation.”<\/p>\n

Might those discussions be with Ferrari as well?\u00a0 Eddie Jordan, a former team boss and now British television pundit, thinks Massa should be worried.<\/p>\n

“He needs to be careful because there are many talents out there,” he is quoted by Austria’s laola1.<\/p>\n

“He does have a contract but in formula one you can never be sure.”<\/p>\n
