BMW continues the development of its F1.08

BMW-Sauber will undoubtedly continue to improve its cars even further by the end of the season, even though its title hopes are somewhat diminishing.

Robert Kubica could have scored big points in Singapore but he entered the pits while they were closed due to the safety car. He was penalized with a 10-second stop-and-go.

The Pole is now 20 points behind championship leader Lewis Hamilton with three races remaining before the end of the season. The team is determined to stay in the fight until the end.

The technical director of the German team Willy Rampf shares his point of view: « Robert Kubica has lost some ground in the championship but his pace in Singapore was decent under normal circumstances. He could have scored a good number of points. »

« However, we will continue to fight. We will make small changes and updates to the upcoming races in the hope of getting closer to the top of the standings. We are not far off. »

« I am very frustrated. This safety car intervention destroyed Robert Kubica’s race. You can’t predict it; it happens when it happens. A lap earlier or a lap later would have been better, » he continued regarding the Singapore Grand Prix.

Despite the praise from the F1 community for this new urban track, Rampf added that modifications will need to be made for next year.

« From a technical point of view regarding the projectors, everything was perfect. The organizers need to work on the track itself. The entry and exit of the paddocks will need to be reworked. »

« In certain areas, you may lose control of the car due to bumps and curbs. There is already a list of modifications that has been discussed among drivers, team officials, and the FIA. »

« It would be good to have more overtaking opportunities but these are always difficult on a street circuit, » concluded Willy Rampf.
