Mercedes boss dismiss Schumacher favouritism
|
05 February 2010 @ 05:10 GMT - Max Loop Nico Rosberg drivers for the Mercedes GP team this season alongside seven times world champion Michael Schumacher. Rosberg signed for the Brawn GP team in the hopes that Mercedes will buy the team. And not long after that the announcement was made that Mercedes bought the team. Rosberg was very excited, but many believe that when the announcement was made that the team has signed Schumacher he was less excited. Red Bull Racing's Christian Horner says Rosberg had no choice in the matter and might not be happy about the situation. "If you ask me, when Nico signed his contract with Mercedes, the very last person he would have expected to be his teammate was Michael Schumacher," he said. But Rosberg has played down the speculation and said he is no walk over. The team has also made it clear that they won't have a number one unless one driver has a better chance to win the title. Mercedes motorsport boss Norbert Haug has played down the claims made by outsiders. "This is the usual theatre of Formula One. We all laugh about it and Nico in particular," he said. |
