Heidfeld gets Williams drive!!!
No brainer. This guy has all the attributes Williams require. I fear he will oprove an unpleasant surprise for Webber. In addition to being seriously quick with a good technical brain. Heidfeld is extremely strong in the head!
Remember the 1998 F3000 season. Montoya and Heidfeld were going for the championship. Heidfeld had a clear advantage in qualifying, only to have his times negated by a fuel irregularity!

Finally, I can see Matt squirm for all those anti-Webber comments when Webbo kicks quick-Nick's arse! :D
Yeah, I know he's sorta apologised - well as much as Matt does apologise about anything - but those of us that have been here more than 10 minutes remember...... ;)
Pizzonia will stay at Williams. Although he is disappointed he will test for them because he wants the team to win......
It would have been cool though, to see Pizzonia and Webber fight eachother again... well, verbally I mean.
hes gonna get his arse kicked by heidfeld
Finally the right chance for Hiedfeld to test how good he is.
Finally we will have a full understanding of Webber's qualities.
And what a field of internal battles: Raikko-JPM at McLaren, Heidfeld-Webber at Williams, Alonso-Fisico at Renault and RS-Trulli at Toyota.
I guess if will be a very polemic season. Let's hope at least one of them beats MS and TOIT!:D
If the Honda's don't blow, Sato may give Butts a hard time !!!
The only reserve is that I suspect Heartfelt's bottle. Thinking back to Melbourne '02 and Austria '03, I really didn't like the way he reacted to the situations he was in. Probably past, is past..............but then.
Anyone up for posting the NH vs. SC battle, where Nick got some anger out on his employer's car?
Some quotes from Webber:
"I certainly haven't proved a great deal in F1," said Webber.
"I haven't achieved as much in F1 as Nick has."
"Testing is one thing, racing's another...I still have a lot more to do yet."
In Austria, he did the same thing to avoid potential trouble just before the hairpin. On that occasion, he did a lateral acceleration test on Takrashu's Jordan.
About bloody time. For me I put Heidfeld in the upper echelon just scrambling below Schumacher. Because the guy does'nt make a big song and dance about things and go's about things quietly he's been overlooked. It's good to see driver's deserving of a top drive get one, after putting up with the likes Of Barrichello and Coulthard! Now if Nick gets beaten it's his own fault but at least he has the chance to prove what he can do. Mark Webber better watch out cos this guy is very quick.
Mentally lacking Irwin? Hmmm think back to 1999 and the roasting he got from Alesi, and the Peugeot blowing up every five minutes. Think when Mc Claren took on Raikkonen and left their 'Mercedes contracted driver' Heidfeld out in the cold even though he was the better driver that year........Think of him driving a trailing Jordan last year....this man has come out of all that and he's still there. I think you'll see a very determined Nick Heidfeld this season with a point to prove.......his mental toughness is notin question, the only possible thing you could say that with his eagerness to prove himself he might overdrive, but he should'nt, he's been in F1 to know better. :)
