Nick Heidfeld will fill the role of Mercedes GP test and reserve driver in 2010.
The former BMW-Sauber man was linked with many teams during the off season including Renault, Lotus, Sauber and Mercedes themselves. However, with a race seat failing to materialise the German has now accepted a back-up role with the Brackley-based team. "I am very pleased to be joining the Mercedes GP Petronas Formula 1 Team," said Heidfeld. "It's the team which has attracted the most interest in the close season, not only because of the comeback of Michael Schumacher, but also because this season sees the return of the Silver Arrows cars as a Mercedes-Benz works team for the first time in over 50 years. "While I would of course have preferred a seat as an active driver, I am really proud to be part of the new Silver Arrows team. I have seen how committed everyone at the team is and I feel the same. I will be doing my very best to support Michael and Nico this year," he added. Merc GP now boast an all-German driver line-up with Heidfeld joining compatriots Michael Schumacher and Nico Rosberg at the team.
