Nico Rosberg will switch to Brawn Mercedes next season if reports from Blick prove accurate.
In an article by veteran journalist Roger Benoit, it is claimed that Mercedes will allow its contract with McLaren to lapse at the end of 2011, and by then the German manufacturer will own 75% of Brawn GP.
Blick reports that the Brawn buyout is in conjunction with Arab partners, and the Brackley-built cars feature prominent Mercedes branding next year.
The publication also claims that Rosberg is in fact not heading to McLaren - the British team that is currently 40% owned by Mercedes - but to Brawn, despite chief executive Nick Fry saying recently he was happy to keep Rubens Barrichello alongside Jenson Button.
Rosberg said coyly last week that although still with multiple options for next year, he had now at least honed in on one in particular.
"Nico is an option," Mercedes' motorsport vice president Norbert Haug said on Tuesday. "He is a candidate."
