Heidfeld pleased to see new track on F1 calendar

25 September 2007

BMW Sauber F1 driver Nick Heidfeld is excited to see the Fuji International Speedway on the Formula 1 calendar this season. The German said he is always pleased to see a new circuit appear on the calendar.

"I've never been to Fuji and am always pleased to see a new circuit appear on the calendar," Heidfeld said. "A new circuit presents the drivers and engineers with some interesting challenges, and - even in our ever-changing sport - provides an extra dose of variety, as all of us first have to find our bearings in the new surroundings. I like Japan as a whole, especially Tokyo. I like the mentality and am a real fan of Japanese cuisine, which has a lot more to offer than the obligatory sushi."

Heidfeld is glad though the race will return to Suzuka in 2009. "Suzuka is my favourite race track, so I'm pleased that the two circuits will take turns in hosting the GP from 2009. I'm really looking forward to driving the Fuji circuit, and I hope I'll get to see Mount Fuji at least once. I heard that some people have been there any number of times, but the peak has been hidden in a cloud every time."
