Affectionately known as Quick Nick, Nick Heidfeld currently holds the record as a current F1 driver with the most number of starts without a win.

His relationship with teammates were often rocky, starting from in his earlier days as teammate to Jean Alesi in the Prost Grand Prix F1 team. In the days with Kimi Räikkönen and Felipe Massa, he had also launched verbal attacks on his teammates despite scoring more points than them. With current teammate Robert Kubica, rumours were common about his supposed bust-ups with his teammate after the media turned their attention to the Polish Robert Kubica as a promising young driver.
