2009 is Heidfeld's last chance in F1 - Stuck

2009 is Nick Heidfeld's last roll of the dice for success in formula one.

That is the belief of Hans-Joachim Stuck, a German former grand prix driver and contemporary motor racing expert.

When 31-year-old Heidfeld was struggling for form with BMW-Sauber last year, Stuck predicted that the nine-year F1 veteran "could lose his seat" if he does not return to the pace quickly.

The German driver ultimately did have a stronger finish to the 2008 season, but Stuck insists that Heidfeld remains under pressure.

"If he is not really up there with Kubica this year, then it would surprise me a lot if he gets another contract," Stuck, who was closely aligned with BMW throughout his career, told spox.com.
