Mercedes is ready to make a brave decision when it comes to picking a replacement for Nico Rosberg next year, team boss Toto Wolff has said.Mercedes management has been meeting on the subject this week following Rosbergs surprise announcement on Friday that he had retired from the sport after winning his first world title. Speaking in an interview with Sky Sports this week, Wolff said Mercedes would not shy away from making a bold decision.Clearly, with Nico taking the decision quite late we are in a bit of a compromised situation because if we had known three months ago there were more options available, he said. Maybe we need to make a brave decision in the same way Nico has made a brave decision.With most of the grid under contract next year, options appear to be limited and 2016 Manor driver Pascal Wehrlein, who is on a long-term Mercedes junior driver contract, remains the obvious choice.However, Wolff said earlier this week that he would consider Fernando Alonso as a candidate, potentially reuniting the Spaniard with former teammate Lewis Hamilton for the first time since their explosive partnership at McLaren in 2007. It remains unclear if Alonso would be able to get out of his current contract at McLaren and whether Mercedes would be willing to take the risk of having two big-name drivers in the same team.Mercedes junior driver Esteban Ocon is also in the running, despite signing a contract to race with Force India next year, but with just nine races under his belt his promotion would represent a different kind of risk.Wolff said it was important for Mercedes to have a driver who could come close to matching Hamilton in terms of raw pace.It is about out and out pace, he explained. Mistakes are a different topic. Only on very few occasions have we seen Lewis or Nico making a mistake or colliding. More than 90 per cent of the races weve been able to score maximum points, so that is a consideration.Then the out and out pace in order to challenge Lewis and grow the general performance within the team. We need somebody that goes lightning fast. To combine all those three factors is what Nico has been able to do over the years.We will not change the philosophy. We want to have two drivers with equal opportunities that can race each other, because I think we owe that to the fans and ourselves. Its the way we want racing to happen.Williams driver Valtteri Bottas has also been linked to the drive, but Wolff, who is also a part of the Finns management team, said it would be tricky to get him out of his contract.Hes with Williams now, the lead driver, and is very important for the combination with Lance Stroll. Claire [Williams] and her team very much rely on him. Fake Nike MLB Jerseys . He says so-called TRT is only one problem and he wants to go even further than the ban.
