Today BMW Sauber has announced that Nick Heidfeld will replace Pedro De La Rosa at the Singapore Grand Prix! The German will replace Pedro for the remainder of the season and will race along side the Japanese driver Kamui Koboyashi.
Nick announced “I’m looking forward like crazy to having the opportunity to go racing again in a good car in Formula One from the Singapore Grand Prix onwards,” said the German. “After the last few months I’m even more motivated than ever. For me it is like coming home, as I raced for seven years in total for the team. Without doubt I will feel at home straight away and this should help me to familiarize myself as soon as possible with the car. I want to thank Peter Sauber for the faith he has put in me.”
The German left BMW Sauber at the end of last season and agreed with Mercedes that he would be their test driver. But in August he left Mercedes to become the Pirelli (the new tire supplier) test driver, but he has recently completed his two test’s for the Italian tire maker company.
