And as Gt_R said above, if I were Ron Dennis I would kick the sleep-inducing and forever overrated David Coulthard (that I unkindly call "the Scottish Barrichello") out and bring Heidlfeld in!
Heidfeld to stay!

It’s a shame that Mercedes have let Heidfeld’s contract run out, but perhaps that will be a good thing for Nick as now he won’t have to worry about what Mercedes want in return from him. But I find it strange that they back him all the way into F1 then don’t do anything with him.
Nick going to Jordan will just be a sideways move on the grid as Sauber have not been competitive most of the season, and have usually only beaten Jordan and Minardi. There is a chance Nick could end up at Jaguar, as it appears they want a German driver, but he’d only be number two to mighty Mark.
Nick is a gifted driver who deserves to be on the grid, but fate appears to be against him now. Perhaps he can pick a ride up somewhere else…
As for HHF, he’s hanging up the racing gloves.
