BMW team principal Mario Theissen is still refusing to give anything away regarding Nick Heidfeld’s expiring contract.
The Hinwil based outfit’s founder Peter Sauber said this week that a new deal for the 30-year-old German is merely a “formality”, but Theissen insists that announcements about drivers will not occur until later this year.
He did, however, hint that hunting for drivers is not his priority at the moment.
“This is a topic that does not make me nervous,” Theissen told the news agency ‘sid’, “because everything is running well as it is.
“At the moment I see other things that are more important — such as the performance of the car.”
Theissen also played down expectations for the rest of the Monaco weekend, explaining that the Principality hosted BMW-Sauber’s “most difficult” GP in 2006.
“So far, we have been particularly good at the faster kind of circuits,” the German said.
