Nigel Roebuck: Fifth Column

"In light of his 2007 performances to date, Heidfeld could be in some demand"

In Formula 1 the times they are indeed a' changin', and not a moment too soon. Perhaps, with the departure of Michael Schumacher, that was to be anticipated but as we looked to the future most of us expected - at least for a time - the focus to fall on Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen, for long regarded, with Schumacher, as members of the Big Three.

When we get down to the bitter limits of the world championship, come the autumn, it may very well be that the fight will have distilled to Fernando and Kimi, but he would be an idiot who assumed that just at the moment. The pair of them are equal on points, at the top of the standings, with one Carl Lewis Hamilton, and next up is Felipe Massa, who won in Bahrain at the weekend. Three races: three different winners.
