A Polish newspaper published a story last week that said BMW’s German drivers Nick Heidfeld and Sebastian Vettel came to blows during a recent test day in Bahrain.
The report has been rubbished, and BMW is said to have even complained in writing, but it claimed that the tension between race driver Heidfeld, 29, and teenage Friday test driver Vettel, had risen so much that they physically fought in the garages of the Sakhir formula one venue.
To the Swiss newspaper Blick, Heidfeld’s Polish teammate Robert Kubica denied the claims of ‘Super Express’ after it described how he and four time world champion Alain Prost had helped to separate the brawling pair.
Super Express said Prost had been accidentally struck during the melee, but 22-year-old Kubica says the Frenchman wasn’t even in Bahrain at the time.
