Villeneuve vs. Heidfeld at BMW Sauber

The 2006 season started well for Jacques Villeneuve, who picked up five FIA championship points during the last two Grand Prix races, in Sepang (Malasia) and Melbourne (Australia). Nick Heidfeld, for his part, got his five points at during the race Down Under. We recall that both drivers of the German BMW Sauber team didn't get any points during the first event of the season, at Bahreïn, with Jacques experiencing mechanical difficulties, his engine blowing at the 29th lap. Nick had finished 12th, a lap behind.
