Where Are They Now: Nick Heidfeld

Seeing the cover image, I thought for a second that Heidfeld had made a cameo as a White Walker in Game of Thrones.

"nick heidfeld is a german racing driver with a beard" - his entire wikipedia page.

It might come as a stupid thought to some, but in my opinion, Nick Heidfeld lacked the selfishness (or egoism) which the top drivers have. He was more like a committed-to-team, modest and consistent kind of driver like Barrichello and Webber. Maybe that is what prevented him from shining.

Great Read! This series of articles are fantastic! Can't wait for the next ones.

Not a stupid thought at all, he was lacking charisma I think which made him stand out less than his teammates at times. The eternal mid pack driver maybe or a reliable nr.2 for a top team, but they never saw champion material in him even though he might have been one when given the right drive.

How wasn't he chosen for any top teams is unbelievable. Rather him than Couthard at Mclaren any day for 02 or 03
