Nico Rosberg does not believe his former team Mercedes have made up their mind yet about George Russell or Valtteri Bottas for 2022.

Half of Mercedes’ line-up for 2022 is already set, with Lewis Hamilton having signed a multi-year extension, but on the other side of the garage the picture is far from clear.

Bottas has partnered Hamilton since 2017, proving a stable figure within the Mercedes team who does not create conflict with Hamilton or sustain a challenge to him in pursuit of the World Championship.

Russell, meanwhile, has been excelling at Williams and currently is driving at his highest level yet after making Q3 back-to-back at the Austrian and British Grands Prix.
