Mercedes GP Reportedly Re-Sign Michael Schumacher for 2013: But Why?

In one of the least surprising signings in Formula One, Nico Rosberg has secured a deal with Mercedes until at least the end of 2013. What is more surprising is that they have apparently also agreed to re-sign the ageing Michael Schumacher through to the end of 2013 also. Rosberg has been a consistently solid performer in a car that is, at best, only the fourth-best car on the grid. In 2010, he secured... 

Formula 1: Can Two DRS Zones Save the 2011 Abu Dhabi GP from Tedium?

F1 2012: Assessing the Challengers to the Top 3
