[QUOTE="Juan Powerblow, post: 53252, member: 20"] Heidfeld has been a surprise admits Williams Frank Williams praises his new-signing [24/03/05 - 10:43] Heidfeld took the honour of being the first Williams driver on the podium in 2005 Nick Heidfeld had to battle to get his drive with BMW Williams. It all began last November when it was announced that the team would test the former Jordan racer and at the time it seemed unlikely he would race with the team as Mark Webber had already signed with the squad and Antonio Pizzonia was lining up the second seat after some good races with the team standing in for Ralf Schumacher. Forward-wind five months and Pizzonia has had to console himself with a testing role with the team once again despite Champ Car flirtations and Nick Heidfeld has just climbed on the podium for the first time since Interlagos four years ago - In a BMW Williams. “I must admit I was more than quite surprised at Nick’s performance in Malaysia,” Frank Williams told the team’s official website of his latest signing. “We know, as we discovered in winter testing, that Nick is very serious about his career. Hard work seems to appeal to him and our engineers find his technical interest, and feedback, hugely valuable. It has unquestionably helped him to understand his car in the past two races.” “On Sunday, we saw a very good racing driver operating at the highest level and we are very much looking forward to seeing Nick on the podium many more times this season.” While everything went right for Heidfeld at the hot and humid Sepang circuit on Sunday, Mark Webber’s race ended 20 laps from the end when he and Giancarlo Fisichella made contact whilst disputing the same piece of tarmac and third position. Williams believes that Webber’s time will come. “Malaysia was obviously disappointing for Mark but we’re positive he’ll achieve a better result in the next race," Williams said. "However, he will only be able to win races when the car can win races. We’ve always believed Mark is capable of winning in the right equipment. He’s certainly very focussed, very hard working and an outstanding team player." While the season may not have been a dream start for the Williams team, it is clear that the chemistry between team players remains good.
