The irony is that F1 cars are easier to drive now than they were when it was commonplace for the majority of drivers to be aged 30+

On the thread topic; Heidfeld had a good run in F1; he was a solid second driver but never a team leader, I feel he is being left behind with all the young guns around!

well there is the point of having new talent around, but what makes it really sad there is people like narkiyan ( or whatever his name is), with less talent than my A%^!, and decent driver cant find a drive

This is way out of line. Were you watching F1 when he drove for Jordan?

I don't understand the hostility towards Narain, yet people hype up Chandok just because he's a great commentator. Narain performed a lot better during his Jordan times than Chandok did with Hispania. The Jordan was as much of a dog as the Hispania was, and he was easily outperforming Glock that year in qualifying and races! Glock is not some average driver, while Bruno Sennas best accomplishment in racing is being born as his uncle's nephew.

The criticism levelled at Narain is due to running out of steam at the end of the season when Glock started getting the upper hand. That was put down to his lack of fitness, which he addressed in his interview after signing with HRT.

Give him a chance before comparing him with your arse.

Erm... FYI, Glock was never Narain's teammate. He drove for Jordan in 2005, his teammate was Tiago Monteiro, who beated him in a regular basis. Narain did nothing noteworthy that season. So yes, his arse is a total waste of space on the grid Funny that this discussion arises on a thread about a driver with gazillion times more talent than Narain, but who apparently doesn't deserve a seat in F1 because he's "too old" and stuff.

well i must admit i didnt watch f1 at that point so maybe im wrong to make that judgement, but yeah

Have to pick you up on the enlarged section - don't you think winning GP2 races at both Monaco and Silverstone are decent achievements? I do...

ah yes the monthly feel sorry for super heidfeld thread.

Didnt realize there was one every month

where have you been living?

Same place as you.

Cool.

ahah, sorry i didnt reply it was "my turn", i dont hate on heidfeld, i agree with the most avid fan of his with his skill, but christ SOME people have a bloody hard time getting over it, hes too old to get back into F1 as a non race winning driver (clever wording for those who were gonna mention schumi!), itd do him no harm to leave his "legacy" as it is, he had a good run. and i mean literally every month nish, theres always something saying "give heidfeld a seat!" gets a bit
tedious despite his skill.

You ever wonder why there's always someone saying "give Heidfeld a seat"? think about that

You ever wonder why hes always out of a F1 seat? POW!

Ignorant at it's best If you actually follow F1, you probably know that Heidfeld raced in F1 for TEN YEARS, new drivers come and go every year but to race at a top level for 10 years speaks volume for the man's talent.

well there you go, cheers for using your turn to post to help my argument, hes had ten years in F1 a good run and as such with drivers like Hulkenburg who only managed a seat for a year, its ludicrous that you should suggest a man with 10 years already (and how many race wins to show for it?) should repeatedly be brought up every other day to get him yet abother seat, hes had his go, get over it.

I think he is the sort of guy who would do well in endurance racing, maybe he will join Audi and join McNish and Tom seeing as Dindo is getting a bit old.

Here:
Way too many germans in F1 these days... inevitably some have to go

[killem2]

As the older drivers keep getting replaced by younguns...
gotta say respect to Barrichelo more every day

I really like that dude. The first time I saw him was on top gear (i watched the 2010 after that season) and I cannot believe how incredibly nice and calm and cool that guy is. He makes jensen look angry LOL. Karma needs to bless him with some championships, he deserves it.

Bruno Sennas best accomplishment in racing is being born as his uncle's nephew.

That's a bit harsh. He was being brought up in the rankings before Ayrton died. Bruno stepped back, out of racing. And even after that he had some decent success. Personally I think the team he was racing for was garbage. That car broke all the time.

i heard hes got a job as an Abba impersenator

[The Ram]

Got some legs! Wow..if he could only apply that flair to his racing!

he could go strictly come dancing

[killem2]

I am so confused LOL. I thought wait a second I thought this guy was with mercedez, but that is nico roseberg, and then I thought, ok well then he already got axed at williams but that is nick hulkenburg LOL.

I finally figured out who this guy was. So many nick/nico and such last year.

I got it now. yay me

[killem2]

for real I feel lol.

Must be a common name among germans lol.

This damn season just needs to start already.

There is 3 types of beasts in F1.......Ferocious Ones.....Schumi,Alonso,Hamilton......Tamed Ones......Kubica,Massa,Barichello,Trulli........and the ones you keep on a leash(too nice of guys for their own good) Kova,Button,Heidfeld,Rosberg!!

The above, is no assessment of their driving skills at all,just an observation on their personalities!!! What seperates the Great from the Good is their Killer Instinct......some have it,and some dont!

I could be all wrong

You simply can't have been following F1 log enough if you think that Heidfeld is a driver to be kept on a leash, or indeed people saying that 'he had his chance and look where he is now - without a seat'. It is correct to say that Heidfeld has had chances to prove himself (albeit in an upper mid-grid team), and prove himself he did! He outpointed Kubica over 3 1/2 seasons together in spite of consistently qualifying lower on the grid. So the question has to be asked - why is Kubica in the position he is compared to the position Heidfeld is in? The simple answer is that Heidfeld has had an unusually raw deal at a time that all of the top seats in F1 are filled, it's nothing whatsoever to do with his 'lack of ability'.

Now that Kubica maybe out for a season, maybe they will give Heidfeld a chance and we will see what he can do in a good car, assuming the Renault is good.
