Son of Keke could replace Heikki Kovalainen at McLaren

Willi Weber, the alliterative super-agent who once looked after a certain Michael Schumacher, has claimed that Nico Rosberg will be free to leave Williams if the team fails to finish fourth or better in this season’s constructors’ championship. The British team currently languishes in sixth, nine points behind fourth-placed Toyota.

In an interview with Germany’s Sport Bild, Herr Weber predicted: “Rosberg will replace Heikki Kovalainen, who will change back to Renault.”

“Hi, the name’s Rosberg… Nico Rosberg. You might have heard of my dad, Keke? … Yeah, he was a better driver than me, but that’s not the point…”

Williams and No.1 driver Rosberg visited Moscow last week for a demonstration drive around a temporary, 4.6km street circuit. Rosberg lapped up the local hospitality, as well as performing a few donuts and burn-outs for Muscovite F1 fans.
