There has been much said about the probablility of Heikki staying on at McLaren after some criticism of his performance year-to-date.But McLaren have announced today that Heikki is the second driver, Lewis Hamilton’s teammate, for 2009. A good move by McLaren and one that I felt was going to happen all along. Heikki is a good driver and I expect him to show that after of a year of getting comfortable at McLaren.
“We welcomed Heikki on board at the start of the year,” said Whitmarsh. “He is under contract to Vodafone McLaren Mercedes, and will continue to race for us in the 2009 season.”
