Nick seems to agree...Team boss Mario Theissen dropped a big hint in Bahrein about the pending 2008 'option' on driver
Nick Heidfeld's expiring BMW contract.
He insisted at Sakhir that the next driver lineup will not officially be confirmed by Hinwil based BMW-Sauber
until closer to the end of the season, as has been his habit.
But after Heidfeld's drive to fourth place in Bahrein on Sunday, where he spectacularly overtook world champion
Fernando Alonso, 'Sid' quoted Theissen as saying briefly: "From the perspective of Nick or BMW, at the moment there is no reason to change."
Amid rumours of the possible interest of Toyota and Honda, 29-year-old Heidfeld smiled: "If I was a boss, I would give me a contract!"
BMW's 2007 car, the F1.
07, will be fitted with a new aerodynamic package for the next race, to be held Spain on 13 May. Referring to his teams's current third-place status, Theissen said: "We want to close the gap to the two teams in front of us even more. Then the world championship can be even more exciting."
