Nico Rosberg with Mercedes until 2018

It is through a Short video which Mercedes confirmed the news. Nico Rosberg has extended his contract by two years with the star manufacturer and should therefore ride a Silver Arrow at least until the end of the 2018 season.

The German was called to order with his teammate Lewis Hamilton, the two drivers having collided several times during the last races.

Despite these contacts which obliged Toto wolff to threaten its drivers with sanctions, the executive director of Mercedes F1 appears in the Mercedes video shaking hands with Nico Rosberg and signing the contract.
