Nico Rosberg could be the next top formula one driver under long-term contract.
Hot on the heels of Sebastian Vettel's new 2014 deal, and Fernando Alonso's tying to Ferrari through 2016, it is reported that German Rosberg could be set to sign on for five more years with Mercedes.
Sport Bild magazine said the deal is worth almost EUR 80 million in total, representing a 3 million euro pay-raise increasing by 10 per cent per season.
"I am counting on him being with us in 2012, and if it is up to me, a lot longer as well," said the German marque's motor racing vice-president Norbert Haug.
Aldo Costa joins Ferrari road car division on full pay
Aldo Costa has become a very highly-paid member of Ferrari's road car design department.
The Italian was stepped down as technical director of the Maranello based marque's formula one team after a disappointing start to the 2011 season.
According to Germany's Auto Motor und Sport, he has been moved to the road car division to sit out the remainder of his two-year contract -- at full F1 pay.
The move is expensive for Ferrari, but it will ensure he is not easily snapped up by a key rival.
John Iley set for Ferrari return?
Ferrari could be looking to reunite with a recently departed team member.
Amid the Italian team's poor 2009 season, head of aerodynamics John Iley left Ferrari and switched to McLaren last year.
The Maranello-based team has acknowledged its shortcomings in the area of aerodynamics, and according to Autosprint wants Nikolas Tombazis to concentrate fully on the car design rather than head the aero department as at present.
The report mentioned Iley in connection with his old aerodynamics job at Ferrari.
