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.
