09/04/09 According to the German newspaper 'Bild', both McLaren Mercedes and Brawn GP are interested in the services of Williams driver Nico Rosberg for the 2010 season. During the Belgian Grand Prix weekend at Spa-Francorchamps, the young German himself said that he would like to have a contract signed for next year within the coming weeks.
McLaren has showed interest in Nico Rosberg for quite some time now and the rumors about a possible move of the German to the Woking-based outfit were only fuelled by the statement of Martin Whitmarsh about Heikki Kovalainen.
In august, Whitmarsh said: "We are not in active discussions with any other drivers at the moment, but it's true to say that we haven't confirmed our driver line-up for next year. A lot of us want to see Heikki get some good results this year and that will ensure that he remains with us."
Despite the interest of Williams and Brawn GP and the fact that Kovalainen scored points in the last four races, Bild is predicting that Rosberg will make a switch to McLaren in 2010.
