Why Heidfeld Was The Best Choice

So, quick Nick will replace Kubica for his recovery period. To me this was Reno’s best bet of a strong competitor and a reliable team leader. Nick has worked with Robert as his team mate for the whole of the 07, 08, 09 and a bit of the 06 F1 season so he knows how Robert works in a team and can pick up exactly where he left off. Heidfeld was also the most experienced driver out of the ones Reno had at their disposal and with such high hopes with the R31 they want consistency to help with their constructers points especially if Vitaly does what he did last year. Nick is also very fast as the name quick Nick suggests. He had a great 07 championship regularly mixing it with the McLarens and Ferraris and had some great races in 08 like Silverstone and Spa. But there is one problem I see with Heidfeld and that is what if he does a Jensen Button. It’s not that hard to believe as we know of his skill and with Reno very confident with their 2011 challenger what will they do if he wins the championship. They will not replace Kubica for love nor money but they may consider swapping Vitaly for Nick if he amazes the critics….
