Bogs 0 Report post Posted October 19, 2006 Why didn't they wait till the end of the season to make this annoucement? Remember after the Monza podium, Theissen said that he had already stated that he would wait until the end of the year, and that he was a man of his word. I wonder if there wasn't some other team sniffing around that made him make this move sooner? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jem of the Shire 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2006 Heidfeld is seriously under-rated. He performs well nearly every single race and brings in the points in. He was easily a match for webber and villeneuve (and pantano of course) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shampion 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2006 I am awaiting McLaren's announcement more than this from BMW. Yes... I have much more interest in McLaren's announcement. Heidfeld will have to carry the team next year. I don't think BMW will finish any higher in the standings next year. And be luckly to hold on to 5th/6th? Kubica has shown promise ... but will he be a one hit wonder??? We'll see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heideld may have scored only a couple more points but consider this: 1. Kubica has not seen most of these tracks before - he has to learn the lines - he has no set-up data from previous years - the conditions were changing during the Friday sessions for the last few races, so it limited the racing even more - basically he was learning during Saturday practice and Qualifying * therefore his qualifying has suffered 2. He was faster during the race in both China (where after going off on the first lap to miss an accident ahead of him, he raced through the pack like they were standing still, and was setting fastest laps before the gamble to dry tires) And in Japan, well.... judging by lap times, and the "Kubica is faster" comments from Dr. Theissen, Kubica was faster.....and Nick had a temper tantrum about these comments. And, Kubica had a point taken away in Hungary, and deserved the point more than Nick in Japan. At worst, Kubica and Nick have been even over the races they have gone head to head on. But remember, some of those races were in the wet, and Kubica had never driven an F1 car in race conditions before these races and on tracks he had never been on before!
