Chief F1 writer in MonacoOne of the more surprising revelations of this weekend has been that Nico Rosberg has drafted in former F1 driver Gerhard Berger to help with his contract negotiations with Mercedes, to minimise the distractions from what is surely the best chance to win the title he will ever have.
There seems little doubt a deal will eventually be agreed - both parties want to stay together. But sources have told BBC Sport that the current sticking point is the length of the deal. Mercedes apparently would prefer a one-year deal and Rosberg wants two, it is said.

Mixed fortunespublished at 12:37 British Summer Time 29 May 2016
Image source, Getty ImagesIt's been a while since Lewis Hamilton tasted victory in Monaco, eight years to be exact.
In changeable weather, Hamilton recovered from an early puncture to win ahead of Robert Kubica and Felipe Massa.
Last year was not so good.
He was coasting to victory until Mercedes pitted him after a late safety car following Max Verstappen's crash.
Nico Rosberg did not stop, passed Hamilton before he rejoined and took victory prompting Hamilton to grumpily, and amusingly, clatter the third place marker board at the end of the race.
