The BMW Sauber team launched the F1.07 at Valencia today.
Their objective for 2007 is for more podiums.
BMW Motorsport Director Mario Theissen said:
In 2006 we exceeded our own targets. Now expectations are rising faster than the team can develop. That’s the punishment for excelling yourself.
2007 marks the second and final year of our development phase. Our aim is to make it onto the podium on our own merit. If the leading teams show any sign of weakness, we want to be ready to breach the gap. Victories on our own merit are not yet a realistic prospect for 2007. We are aiming for that in 2008. In 2009 we want to be in contention for the World Championship title.
Nick Heidfeld said:
After our good maiden season we now have to continue along our set path. But one can’t expect too much, because the higher you go, the more rarefied the atmosphere. In our first year we collected 36 points and came fifth in the world championship. But the fourth-placed team had 86 points. That’s worlds apart.
Robert Kubica said:
I learnt a lot in 2006 and I want to put it into practice in 2007 and learn more. To stand on the podium for the first time after a Formula One race was an incredible experience. I want more of it.

At least they are a realistic bunch. As for the car it was good but never as fast as any of the three front runners. Now with the engine freeze in effect they are stuck with what they have got. I believe BMW will score the #5 spot again.

They had a very good season last year and this year with N. Heidfeld and R.Kubica they will be much better.

No doubt he's good. I wish he had a better car. If Kubica manages to score a podium in that BMW he surely can win a race if he were in a Renault or Ferrari (barring any errors due to his relative lack of experience)...
