Former Formula 1 driver Nick Heidfeld says he has not yet given up on the sport, despite being dropped this year after 12 consecutive seasons on the grid.

“I’ve been there for many years, it was a great time, but I would still like to be involved for a bit longer,” said Heidfeld. The German driver is one of several established names who have found themselves without a place on a team this season, with a few young untested drivers being drafted in. The likes of Rubens Barrichello, Adrian Sutil and Jarno Trulli have all been shown the door, and the list of new exciting drivers includes French novice Charles Pic, Toro Rosso duo Vergne and Ricciardo and a return for Romain Grosjean.

For Heidfeld, the plan is to continue trying to get a seat at one of the smaller teams, and with such experience it would be hard to completely count him out. “Of course I’ve been trying to get a seat,” said Heidfeld, “but we all know that it’s not easy at the moment, with money playing a big role.” But the general feeling of the teams seems now to be geared towards letting youngsters with energy and ambition give it a go, instead of going with their older colleagues who might be more resigned to their repeated finishes without any points.

It would be hard to argue against the clear passion of the youngsters on the grid after one of the most exciting midfield finishes in recent years on Sunday in Australia. The final lap saw 4 drivers scrapping for the final 3 positions in the top ten, and even 7th place Kimi Raikkonen was only a second in front of this battle.

In the end Eric Vergne lost out, as Timo Glock hung back out of the fight until the final corner where he swept past the young French driver in a perfectly timed charge to the finishing line. For the moment it looks as though older drivers will have to fight for their positions instead of resting on their laurels, but the younger competitors must also prove they have what it takes over the course of the season.

Two German Formula 1 drivers – Nick Heidfeld and Adrian Sutil are still expecting to get a Formula 1 seat back future. Nick joined the Renault team mid way through the last season. He replaced Bruno Senna, who was originally a replacement for injured Robert Kubica. However, Nick was fired from the team t the end of the season after failing to produce any significant result during the season.

Recently, he revealed that he has not given up hope to get a race sit in formula 1. While speaking to Servus TV, he told that he is trying to grab a seat. But, at this point of time, it is not at all easy with money playing a huge role. He has been in Formula 1 for many years and it was really a great time. He would still like to get involved for a bit longer.

On the other hand, Adrian Sutil had a nice time with Force India, but he did not get a new deal from his team for 2012 season. After that he was considered a nice driver and probably he might have a seat in 2012 season, but a criminal charge that put him to eighteen months suspended jail. He is also looking for a race seat next year.

The German told that he is hopeful. It is always tough to make plans in this business, but he would like to come back in 2013 season with a very good team. It is a shame for him that he will probably not be there at the start in Melbourne, but hopefully one way or another he will return in Formula 1.
