The marque are to end their involvement at the end of the season, leaving Heidfeld and team-mate Robert Kubica on the lookout for a new drive for 2010.

BMW Sauber's decision came like a bolt out of the blue for Heidfeld, who said: "BMW's decision to no longer to compete in Formula One was totally unexpected."

He added: "I feel very sorry for the members of the team with whom it has been my privilege to work over the years.

"I would like to thank all of them for their tremendous support and for everything we have achieved together."

Yet a defiant Heidfeld, with an eye on his career, added: "I'm not going to lose sight of my ambition to reach the top in Formula One.

"I'll be doing my best to support the team and ensure we get the best possible finish to the season.

"But as far as my personal future is concerned, we'll now be continuing discussions under these changed circumstances."
