Rosberg has contract for 2017 says Zetsche

Nico Rosberg looks set to stay at Mercedes beyond 2016.

Before the sensational first-lap crash with teammate Lewis Hamilton on Sunday, Daimler chairman Dieter Zetsche suggested to the German media that championship leader Rosberg has secured a new contract.

"Both drivers are under contract for the forthcoming season," Speed Week quotes him as saying.
