Heidfeld takes legal action

Nick Heidfeld who still has a valid contract as main driver with LRGP is set to continue legal proceedings before the High Court of London after LRGP has temporarily been allowed to let Bruno Senna drive in Nick's place until a final decision at a full trial which will take place after the Monza Grand Prix.

Nick's legal representative Dr. Stefan Seitz, Cologne, Germany: "The interlocutory decision of the court does not infringe on the fact that Nick has a valid contract to be one of the two main drivers of the team. This position is disputed by the team for apparently purely financial reasons. We do not intend to rest before Nick's legal position has been fully restored."

Nick's manager Andre Theuerzeit: "I am disappointed that the team is allowed to let another driver take Nick's seat for the next weekends. However, I certainly am confident that we will be able to enforce a fair solution for Nick in the further proceedings. We all hope that Nick will be back in the cockpit in Singapore."

Also Nick Heidfeld stated his view: "I was surprised by the Team's intention to replace me and regret that things have developed this way. I just wanted to be in the cockpit to get the best result for the team and me. I still have a clear contract and I want to drive."
