Rosberg: Negotiations with Wolff are quite painful

      Nico Rosberg expressed sympathy for George Russell, who is currently negotiating with Mercedes to extend his contract. The 2016 world champion revealed that team principal Toto Wolff is withholding contact to strengthen his bargaining position, causing the other party to start feeling anxious.

      Nico Rosberg: "George is definitely in an uncomfortable position because he wants to settle the contract issue as soon as possible. But from my experience, negotiations with Toto about the contract are quite painful because he simply disappears from the planet when you try to get in touch with him.

      His strategy is to strengthen his bargaining position, and for that, he just vanishes. George is very uncomfortable, but since the issue with Max Verstappen seems settled, negotiations might now accelerate.

      Let's see if Mercedes will act faster. First and foremost, they need to confirm George's contract. As for Kimi Raikkonen, I think Mercedes will not rush, and confirming Kimi will take more time."
