Heidfeld, world champion?

While Jenson Button is on the verge of becoming F1 world champion, if he manages to keep his lead, the reversal of the hierarchy gives wings to certain drivers. And in particular to Nick Heidfeld who, despite his long career in F1, has not lost sight of his goal of becoming world champion. However, the German is playing his tenth season in Formula 1 and, after 163 Grands Prix, has never stood on the highest step of the podium. “ It's annoying to never have had the chance to drive the right car », Comments Nick Heidfeld for Motorsport Magazin.

But it doesn't look like the German driver can claim a victory this season, despite BMW's strong run at Spa. After a very promising 2008 season, BMW-Sauber seems to have missed the train of the new regulations, concentrating its efforts on a now abandoned SREC.

But, despite the lack of results this season, Nick Heidfeld is a regular at the end of the race, having always reached the finish since the 2007 Chinese Grand Prix. Consistency, finishing the race each time, is an important factor. And it can be a deciding factor if you drive a competitive car and are a title contender. », Adds the driver from Mönchengledbach.

Even if his place in F1 is not assured next season, due to the withdrawal of BMW at the end of the year, Nick Heidfeld does not lack ambitions. “ I want to be world champion one day and everything I do is geared towards that goal. » All that remains for the German driver is to find a wheel for 2010, unless the teamHinwil not be bought by a structure that has sufficient liquidity to produce a high-performance car.
