Nico Rosberg has announced he would be happy if Michael Schumacher stayed at Mercedes beyond 2012. Seven time world champion Schumacher's current contract runs out this season, and there has been speculation he could either stay or be replaced possibly by McLaren's Lewis Hamilton.
Rosberg knows Hamilton well from their karting days, but the German indicated he would be happy to stay alongside Schumacher. "It is quite possible that he will stay, and that would be a good thing," he told the DPA news agency. "Technically, we complement each other well, which of course for the development of the car is always helpful," added the 26-year-old.
