Honda admit an interest in Heidfeld

Wednesday 1st October 2008

Honda could opt to sign Nick Heidfeld should the German find himself without a BMW drive for next season.

According to reports BMW are dissatisfied with Heidfeld's results this season as the German have often lagged by his lesser-experienced team-mate Robert Kubica.

As a result the team is rumoured to be looking for a replacment with Fernando Alonso being touted as their number one target.

However, Heidfeld needn't worry about being without a race-seat for next season, as Honda team boss Nick Fry has admitted an interest in signing the German.

"I have already spoken to him (Heidfeld) - and it was more than just a 'hello,'" he told spox.com

Should Heidfeld sign with Honda it will most probably be as Rubens Barrichello's replacement as the team is expected to hold onto Jenson Button.
