BMW Sauber Nick Heidfeld says no plans to retire
German Formula One driver Nick Heidfeld says he has no plans to follow countryman Michael Schumacher into retirement.
The 29-year-old admitted that with all the hype about seven time World Champion Michael Schumacher’s exit after a sixteen-year career, he has found himself thinking about the future.
“But I don’t get very far on that score,” Nick Heidfeld, who drives for BMW-Sauber, told the Emagazine of team sponsor Credit Suisse.
He added: “It’s basically way too soon for me. And I don’t have any plans as yet.”
Hinwil based BMW made steady progress throughout the 2006 season, and ultimately finished the constructors’ championship fifth, ahead of Toyota, Red Bull and Williams.
Nick Heidfeld, whose teammate next year will again be Robert Kubica, said he was feeling ‘really good’ about next year.
