Renault hand Heidfeld opportunity
Renault have given Nick Heidfeld the opportunity to prove himself as a possible replacement for the injured Robert Kubica in testing this week.
The German, 33, who drove for Sauber at the end of last season, was confirmed to drive alongside second driver Vitaly Petrov as well as Bruno Senna in Spain.
Kubica, 26, is recovering in hospital after suffering multiple fractures during a rallying accident in Italy.
Heidfeld has 11 years of experience in Formula 1, with five different teams.
Renault chairman Gerard Lopez said the British-based team want a driver with experience and the capability to challenge for the championship.
Senna, who raced for the Hispania team for much of last year in his rookie season, is the first reserve at Renault and will share driving duties with Heidfield in the R31 at this week's second test in Jerez, which begins on Thursday.

Re: Renault hand Heidfeld opportunity
Of the three names(possible 4) in the frame for Kubica's seat, I'd chose Heidfeld. If he puts in a good test and with knowledge of the Pirelli characteristics I think he stands the best chance of securing the drive for this year. That's my opinion anyhow. Find out pretty soon.

yeah would have to agree, with stevi555. senna is probably too inexperienced along with petrov and i dont think liuzzi is good enough to be frank
