Theissen sees more potential in BMW Sauber's F1.08
By BMW Sauber F1 Team
April 5 2008
Second position in the Constructors' Championship and two runner-up finishes with just two rounds of the season contested: the BMW Sauber F1 Team has experienced an excellent start to the 2008 season. According to BMW Motorsport Director Mario Theissen, the successful F1.08 has the potential to do even better.

When the BMW Sauber F1.08 was publicly launched at Munich's "BMW Welt", on 14th January, media representatives and the drivers could only guess how fast the BMW Sauber F1 Team's challenger would really be.

With two rounds of the season contested, one thing is certain, the F1.08 has successfully passed its baptism of fire. Nick Heidfeld finished runner-up in the season opener in Australia - and in Malaysia, Robert Kubica repeated this feat. At the end of the day, the BMW Sauber F1 Team has already come very close to its stated goal for the 2008 season: to secure its maiden GP win.

"It used to be, If they're not in perfect form, we can beat all the front runners. Should this happen, we will be there. Now we just have to make the final step: to be able to make it to the very front without having to benefit from other teams' weaknesses," says Theissen.

The German believes the BMW Sauber F1.08 will see the team celebrate more successes this season. "We know that we have not yet exploited our car's full potential. There is more to come," adds Theissen.
