   BMW Sauber's Nick Heidfeld takes completed-races record from Schumacher

Nick Heidfeld and the BMW Sauber F1 team he drives for may not be
having the best season thus far, but one thing you can give them credit
for is consistency. And as anyone who knows racing can tell you,
finishing the race is the most fundamental element of success. So it
shouldn't fall on deaf ears that Heidfeld set a not insignificant
record last weekend at the Spanish Grand Prix, where � after 25 successive grands prix � the German driver took the record for the most races completely consecutively.

The
record was previously held by fellow countryman Michael Schumacher, and
came on Heidfeld's 32nd birthday. The last time Nick didn't finish a
race was way back at the 2007 Japanese Grand Prix at the Fuji Speedway,
where technical difficulties sidelined him two laps before the finish
line. Since then Heidfeld has started and finished every grand prix,
through the remainder of 2007, all of 2008 and every race this year so
far.
