Nick Heidfield, former F1 driver, spoke about missing out on two opportunities to join top teams on the grid due to the movement of Michael Schumacher and Jenson Button.
Heidfield joined the sport in 2000 and started his career with Prost, moving to Sauber and Jordan, and spending his longest stint from 2005 to 2010 with BMW. The 2010 season saw openings at McLaren and Mercedes, giving the former Formula 3000 champion his first chance at a top-tier team.
However, seven-time world champion Schumacher made his return to F1 the same year after a four-year hiatus. He was looking to replace the outgoing Jenson Button at Mercedes.
