Formula 1 driver Nico Rosberg extended his contract with Mercedes as he signed a multi-year contract with the 'Silver Arrows' Wednesday, ahead of the German Grand Prix this weekend.
The German joined Mercedes when they returned to the sport as a fully-fledged manufacturer in 2010 and has since gone on to score six wins, eight pole positions and 17 podiums for the Brackley-based squad.
"I am very proud to drive the Formula 1 Silver Arrow of the modern era. As a German, the heritage of Mercedes-Benz is very special for me and I am proud to be able to represent the best car brand around the world," Rosberg said.
"We have an awesome team and I am confident that we have the right people in place at every level. I'm looking forward to the next years together when we will keep pushing to win even more races and hopefully championships."
Rosberg enters this weekend's German GP at the Hockenheimring with a four point lead over teammate Lewis Hamilton in the drivers' standings.
