Norbert Haug is remaining tight-lipped regarding Mercedes-Benz's plans for next season. It was expected that the German manufacturer would unveil its plans for next year at the Italian Grand Prix, but motorsport vice president Haug said he was "not sure" that timetable could now be met.
The delay could be due to reports that Mercedes is close to buying into the Brawn team, and how this might affect the engine deal that was expected to be reached with Red Bull Racing.
It seems Red Bull might now be keener to simply stay put with Renault power, leading to suggestions that Sir Frank Williams and Patrick Head's visit at the Brands Hatch DTM race last weekend could be the prelude to a Williams-Mercedes deal.
Asked on Tuesday whether he had talks with the Williams team co-owners at Brands Hatch, Haug simply answered in the negative.
He also told reporters that, as well as being in talks with Nico Rosberg about a drive for next season, the planned programme announcement for Monza is likely to be delayed.
