5188 laps: Impressive record for BMW-Sauber
By BMW Sauber F1 Team
December 3 2007
In the 17 Grands Prix that comprised the 2007 Formula One season, no team completed more laps than the BMW Sauber F1 Team - a clear sign of the reliability of the F1.07. The season will be remembered as the most successful in the history of the BMW Sauber F1 Team to date.

With 101 World Championship points and two podium finishes, the Munich and Hinwil based squad established itself as third power on the grid, thus realising all its self determined goals.

And there is even one category where the BMW Sauber F1 Team proved to be the No 1, in 2007: over the course of the 17 Grands Prix, no team completed as many laps and covered as many kilometres as the BMW Sauber F1 Team. The 5188 laps completed by Nick Heidfeld, Robert Kubica and Sebastian Vettel in 2007 represent more than 25,000 kilometres.

One reason for this impressive achievement was the reliability of the car and its drivers. Just five times in 2007, did a BMW Sauber F1 Team driver fail to score - and at least one of the team's drivers scored World Championship points in every race.

Re: 5188 laps: Impressive record for BMW-Sauber
That's a double edged sword, kind of like the Honda paint job. This kind of violates the carbon trail in which Europe is attempting to be a world leader.
It's a hard balancing act to meet all the demands of doing the right thing, isn't it ?
