Mercedes: Haug delays

Norbert Haug, at the start of the week, spoke of “surprises” concerning the composition of the pilot duo of Mercedes GP in 2010. One of them is already known, it is Nico Rosberg, even if the choice has not been made official. To support him, several pilots with very different profiles were cited. Kimi Räikkönen, Michael Schumacher, Nick Heidfeld, Adrian Sutil?

Norbert Haug, boss of Mercedes Motorsport, prefers to procrastinate. “ We have a duty of confidentiality towards the pilots with whom we speak, he confides to Bild. You might be surprised. But I think you will like this choice, as will your readers. ", he added.

The German readers of Bild will therefore, without doubt, have the pleasure of seeing a duo of German drivers racing. Schumacher? Heidfeld? Sutil? Norbert Haug once again prefers to kick into touch. “ There is always speculation in this sport especially, of course, when the seats are not filled. Then there are dreams, and that?s a good thing. »

After a fruitful but sometimes difficult collaboration with McLaren, Mercedes now has its own team. Norbert Haug thinks he will not relive the same governance problems as with McLaren. “ Ross (Brawn) is the team manager, I am the boss of Mercedes Motorsport. We complement each other; we have known and appreciated each other for over 20 years. »
