Nick Heidfeld’s manager is confident the German will find a race cockpit on the 2011 grid.<\/p>\n
One race after the 33-year-old secured his return with Sauber for the last rounds of 2010, the Swiss team announced it has signed Mexican rookie Sergio Perez for next season.<\/p>\n
It is a blow for Heidfeld, but his manager Andre Theuerzeit insisted there are talks with other teams about 2011.<\/p>\n
He told the German news agency SID that Heidfeld was “not unprepared” for the Perez news.<\/p>\n
“There are still cockpits available in formula one for next season,” said Theuerzeit.\u00a0 “At the moment we are in negotiations and we are confident there will be a positive outcome.”<\/p>\n
The best potential cockpit for 2011 is Renault’s, but the Enstone based team’s French boss Eric Boullier has played down suggestions Heidfeld’s recent role with Pirelli gives him an advantage.<\/p>\n
“That Nick Heidfeld should be first choice?” he mused in interview with F1’s official website.<\/p>\n
“Because he sits on important information and would without doubt give them to his new team?\u00a0 I think that Pirelli will inform all the teams in due course,” said Boullier.
