Heidfeld without pre-season
It is probable that Nick Heidfeld, Mercedes GP test driver, will not be able to test the MGP W01 at Jerez racetrack.
Heidfeld, will travel to the Grand Prix this year as a possible substitute of the official pilots; Michael Schumacher and Nico Rosberg. Nonetheless, with only 12 test days left, the Mercedes Director, the German, Norbert Haug said they would not be in conditions to offer Heidfeld racetrack time with the new MGP W01.
“It is expected that, before the beginning of the season, Michael and Nico will have as many test kilometers as possible,” said Haug. “In the improbable case that he [Heidfeld] has to subtitute one of our leading pilots, Nick is well prepared to immediatly do a good job.”
Mercedes will resume its tests this Wednesday in the Andalucian racetrack of Jerez, together with nine of his rivals for the next season. Ross Brawn, boss of the team, has made it very clear that he has the intention of reducing the time gap with the Ferraris performing a series of modifications to the single-seater.
