Heidfeld cool on Alonso rumors

(GMM) Nick Heidfeld on Thursday was unreceptive to speculation that Fernando Alonso is set to slot into his BMW-Sauber seat in 2009.

The German driver had a strong weekend at Spa-Francorchamps, but it nonetheless coincided with the latest suggestions that boss Mario Theissen has closed a three-year deal with Alonso, the former double world champion.

"Several times this year it was said Alonso has signed: with Ferrari, with Renault, and now with BMW," 31-year-old Heidfeld is quoted as saying at Monza by SID news agency.

"I can only do my best, and then we will see."
