BMW wants to find colors

Robert Kubica and Nick Heidfeld, the two drivers of the BMW team, hope to take advantage of the Turkish meeting to find some color after a disastrous Monaco GP. If there is no question of victory or podium within the Hinwill team, we nevertheless hope to achieve a performance in line with what was seen in Barcelona. There, Nick Heidfeld took seventh place, allowing BMW to score its fifth and sixth points in the manufacturers' standings.

« I hope our sad performance in Monaco was an accident and that it was due to the poor adaptation of our car to the circuit », declared the German pilot. “ After all, we saw positive signs in the previous race in Barcelona and the next evolution is ready for Istanbul? which includes a double diffuser. » If it can rely on a new aerodynamic package, on the other hand, the team will not reintroduce the SREC on the F1.09 who has been absent since the Bahrain GP.

The Pole Robert Kubica, who has still not scored a single point in 2009, would also like to do well at the finish. “ We hope to achieve a better performance in Istanbul than in Monaco “, he explained. Last year, the propeller brand performed well with Kubica?s fourth place and Heidfeld?s fifth position. This year, things have changed and she would happily be satisfied with having a driver in the points in each race... while waiting for better.
