Lotus Renault GP wanted a fast driver with experience, and if it could be, I tested the Pirelli tyres and he had used the KERS beforehand. In other words, they want exactly the profile has Nick Heidfeld. Not in vain the German was always the first choice.
For the team, Nick importance had been given by the fact that the car had to evolve, and without a pilot with experience, that would have been impossible. They believe that their pilots reserves would not live up to the development of the car while they were on pure speed.
