BMW having decided to withdraw from the Formula 1, Nick Heidfeld?s future is uncertain. However, the firm ofHinwil has found a buyer but, in the time of concluding the deal, four new teams arrived in F1: Manor, Campos, USF1 and Lotus. From then on, the structure must wait without knowing if its place is assured for 2010. As for the drivers, Robert Kubica has found refuge with Renault, while Nick Heidfeld has a dotted future. But the German driver is convinced of his presence in the paddock in 2010.

« I hope Sauber will be there next year and I am pretty sure I will be in Formula 1 in 2010, confides ?Quick Nick? at F1.com. For the moment, it is not certain that Sauber will have a place on the grid. They would be able to face competition and would serve F1 better than some new teams. »

But, if he hopes to see his current team on the 2010 starting grid, the German driver does not seem to link his future to that of the Hinwil structure. Indeed, Nick Heidfeld is currently in discussions with several teams, in order to imitate Robert Kubica and not disappear from the world of Formula 1 after the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. “ Nothing has been signed but we are talking to a few teams. I can't say more than that. »
