Quote Pleasant surprise for BMW
Sunday February 25 2007
BMW Motorsport Director Mario Theissen claims that the team is quicker than he expected as the 2007 pre-season nears its end.

The pace of the Hinwil built F1.07 has been very impressive in winter tests, and Theissen said: "Clearly we are closer to the top teams - Ferrari, McLaren and Renault - than we expected."

The German told the newspaper Augsburger Allgemeinen that BMW are looking to keep an upward trajectory in performance as the season progresses, and acknowledged reports that point out the car's suspect reliability.

"Until now Ferrari and McLaren look the strongest of all.

"Both have really top drivers like Fernando Alonso, Kimi Raikkonen and Felipe Massa, but behind them are a group and fortunately we seem already to be a part of it," he said.

Looks like Renault are having trouble with the Bridgestone tyres - although it wouldn't be like the French to try a bit of gamesmanship!  And I see Button is already getting his excuses ready I wish he would zip it.

What about a prediction thread for F1 nerds?

Oooh, The machine of a dream, such a clean machine With the pistons a pumpin', and the alloys all gleam, When I'm holding your wheel, All I hear is your gear, With my hand on your grease gun, Mmm it's like a disease son, I'm in love with my car, gotta feel for my automobile, Get a grip on my .......
