Heidfeld considering his options

Thursday 2nd July 2009

Nick Heidfeld admits he may not race for BMW next season as he is in talks with other teams.

The German has made no secret of his unhappiness with the Hinwil-based teams' performances thus far this season, and with his contract expiring this year he may leave the team.

"I am talking with several teams - not just BMW," Heidfeld told Eurosport.

Despite failing to register a race win during his ten year stint in F1, the 32-year-old insists he is not ready to walk away from the sport.

"I still want to be World Champion," explained the German, "even if it only happens when I am 40.

"If you look at the past few years, drivers are staying until they are 38, 39, so I have a few years still in front of me," he added.
