Nick Heidfeld complain to race stewards
At the end of this morning’s Qualifying Session, BMW’s Nick Heidfeld complained to the Malaysian GP stewards, since on his final qualifying attempt was slowed down by several cars which, according to the German, cost him the 3rd position on the grid. “That’s the disappointing part,” told Heidfeld to ITV. “Q1 and Q2 went pretty smooth and then in Q3 most of the cars were already very, very slow when I was on my flying lap. They were just like parked on the circuit, I think it was both of the McLarens in front of Turn 4, being in the middle of the racing line. I could not be on the line I wanted, especially for braking. I have lost some time there, I think I lost two tenths, and if you look at the times they were very, very close.”
“I would have been third, but what can you do now? Very clearly it needs to be looked at and I reported that on the radio. From my point of view it is not correct what they did, ” he added.
