Rosberg signs new Mercedes deal

Nico Rosberg has finally agreed his two-year contract extension with Mercedes.

The team announced it by posting a video showing the German signing his contract alongside a smiling Toto Wolff.

Negotiations have been ongoing for some time, with Gerhard Berger working as an advisor and helping Rosberg to get a better deal.

Yesterday when referring to the drawn out discussions Rosberg noted: “Of course you need to be careful, because it can influence and take some energy away, but I think from my side with the experience that I have now I know how to handle it, and in my part I have Gerhard Berger who is handling it for me, specifically to make sure that I don’t lose any focus on the racing and to get the best out of it.”
