BMW Sauber retain Kubica and Heidfeld

BMW Sauber announced yesterday that both Nick Heidfeld and Robert Kubica will be retained in 2009. Kubica was an obvious choice following his strong performances this year but Heidfeld looked a little more doubtful. The truth is that while Quick Nick might have been outshone in qualifying and some races by his less experienced team mate he’s still had a cracking season in his own right and certainly deserves his spot on the team. Perhaps the ONLY doubt in Mario Theissen’s mind was the possibility of getting a certain 2 x World Champion to race alongside Kubica…

So I guess that begs the question, what options are there left for Alonso?
I always thought he’d stick with Renault for another season and while he’s yet to confirm his intentions I’d be horrified if he went with any of the alternative (Honda) now.

Christian Klien will also stay on as BMW Sauber’s third driver.
