Heinz-Harald Frentzen has admitted that his Formula 1 future is far from certain, and that Sauber Petronas team mate Nick Heidfeld must take priority. "I don't want to think about the future at the moment to avoid any complications and misunderstandings," said Frentzen. "Ask me the question when everything is sorted. At the moment everything is in the process so I can't speak about it."

He remains positive about Sauber Petronas, however, commenting "I would say that the lack of success is only temporary. I strongly believe that Sauber will be going upwards."

There are concerns that the desire to race is slipping away, with Heinz-Harald telling the Motorsport Aktuell magazine "If I want to continue racing but don't get a new contract, that would be a disappointment. If I don't feel any desire any more, then I won't have a problem quitting."

Speaking to the Bild am Sonntag newspaper, Frentzen mysteriously commented "I'm still having fun but I don't necessarily have to remain a driver," before adding "It's more important that Nick stays in F1."

Team Frentzen for the future?
