Christian Horner has played down talk of Carlos Sainz leaving Toro Rosso for Mercedes, insisting the Spaniard has a long-term deal with the Red Bull programme.Nico Rosbergs shock retirement from Formula One, made less than a week after he secured his first world championship, has left Mercedes with a seat to fill before the 2017 season. The timing of Rosbergs announcement has left Mercedes with a dilemma as most drivers are tied down to deals for next season.Sainz is one of the drivers to have been linked with the vacant seat. Renault tried to sign the Spaniard for 2017 but were rebuffed by Red Bull, and Horner says Mercedes will get a similar response.Why would we do that [let him go to Mercedes]? Carlos has done a great job. He is a Red Bull driver, Horner told the BBC.We have invested in him to get him into F1 and they are all on long-term contracts so it wouldnt make any sense to feed one of your main opponents with one of your assets. They will know the contractual situations of the drivers they are involved with but their choices are pretty limited.Horner believes the world champions should follow the example of Red Bull and promote from within, though he also thinks Valtteri Bottas would be a competitive teammate for Lewis Hamilton if Mercedes successfully poached him from Williams.You give these guys a chance. Lets see what people can do in a front-running car.If they did take Wehrlein or Bottas, both are probably both capable of running right at the front, you just dont know until you give them the chance, which is what we did with Sebastian Vettel, and Daniel Ricciardo.A lot of people were saying we should take Kimi Raikkonen at the time we took Ricciardo. Until you give them the chance, you dont really get to see if they can cut it at the front.Mercedes has confirmed it will not be revealing Rosbergs replacement until January 3 at the earliest.Nike NFL Jerseys China .
