Heidfeld Versus Kimi, Massa, Villeneuve, And Kubica

Planet F1 had a nice post about how, among other things, Heidfeld and McLaren would be a good fit. I continue to assert that Heidfeld is extremely underrated and is just as capable as Robert Kubica. So Kubica is going to Renault, why shouldn't Heidfeld go to McLaren?

Here I compare Heidfeld's qualifying and race results with his past teammates:

2002: Heidfeld versus Massa
