Renault want to replace Nick Heidfeld with reserve driver Bruno Senna for the remaining eight races of the season, starting in Belgium this weekend, but may face legal action from the German who is unhappy at the prospect of being dropped.
The Enstone-based team would not confirm on Monday night, who would be driving for them in Spa. However, this newspaper understands that 34 year-old Heidfeld — hired earlier this year to stand in for the injured Robert Kubica, whose career remains in the balance following a major accident in a rally car — is prepared to use legal channels to hang on to his race seat.
Good atmosphere they are building in that team..Quote:

Good news for Senna, I hope he does well.
What a douchebag. He is lucky he got to race at all this season.Quote:

There goes my fantasy F1 :(
Heidi is a has been and was never a great driver. With his decision to sue Renault he puts an end to a not very illustrious career. But I really hope that Bruno will not be another Badoer as Mekola said. The qualifying against Klien was pretty embarrassing.
the strory was on BBC yesterday, as informed by Eddie Jordan, but seems to have disappeared again, perhaps we've jumped the gun a little
I agree, how dare Heidfeld expect that his contract be honoured. Employees should know their place.Quote:

As for Nick's future employment prospects given his age he's looking at the end of his career anyway.
All this smacks of a team in dire straits, having lost the core of its successful technical staff and running short of money too. Senna is not going to perform better than Heidfeld, he'll struggle to trouble Petrov IMO.
Yes, I tend to think that if they let Nick go they are looking for a scapegoat for having dropped back in performance since the start of the year when in reality it's clear that the team haven't kept up with the development of their rivals.Quote:
