Nick Heidfeld podium retrospective

While we wait for practice to begin in Melbourne, here are Heidfeld's 12 podium finishes.  Though he is tied with Stefan Johansson right now for the record for most podium finishes without a win, he should be able to break the tie this season.  Hopefully.

2001 Brazil: 3rd.  Man, he looked young. 

2005 Malaysia: 3rd. No beard yet. 

2005 Monaco: 2nd.

2005 European GP (Nurburgring): 2nd.  He started from pole position. 

2006 Hungary: 3rd.  Button's sole win before Brawn. 

 2007 Canada: 2nd.

2007 Hungary: 3rd. 

2008 Australia: 2nd.

2008 Canada: 2nd.  Not a happy podium finish for Heidi. 

 2008 British GP: 2nd.

2008 Belgium: 2nd.  Hamilton's 1st place finish was taken away due to a penalty.  Heidfeld had spectacular finish when he switched to wet tires. 

2009 Malaysia: 2nd.  Not satisfying as race ended early due to rain.

2011: ???

Update 1:
2011 Malaysia: 2nd.  The beginning of a comeback?
