The German pilot hopes, according to planet-f1.com, not finding a person “ completely egocentric ". Kimi Räikkönen or Michael Schumacher were notably cited to join the new Mercedes GP entity, which succeeds Brawn GP. But Nick Heidfeld seems in a good position to take the second wheel.

« It's nice to have someone you can lean on, continues Rosberg, just as it is nice to team up with someone who is not a completely self-centered person, who only thinks about himself and tries to fool the other driver, because there is a lot of work that needs to be done together . » Nico Rosberg, after four years at Williams, is due to join Mercedes GP from the 2010 season.
