Heidfeld capitalises on Bourdais' heartbreak in Belgium

Indexed: Sun Sep 07, 2008 @ 04:31:24PM 2 months 3 weeks ago
With speculation about their futures dominating the media in the lead up to the Belgian race, BMW Sauber's Nick Heidfeld and Toro Rosso's Sebastien Bourdais had something to prove at Spa-Francorchamps this weekend. And during Sunday's thrilling race, Heidfeld and Bourdais both showed their respective squads what they could do - even though it will be the German who leaves the race the happier man. Heidfeld, who had qualified in fifth, enjoyed a great start, but after making contact with McLaren's Heikki Kovalainen soon after, Heidfeld dropped down the field and thought his chances were over. But when the rain began to fall, a quick pit stop to take on wet tyres proved a wise move and the BMW Sauber driver quickly scythed his way up the order to eventually finish an impressive third - his best race result in three outings.
