BMW-Sauber reveals 2008 car launch date
The new BMW-Sauber 2008 car will be launched officially on January 14, 2008 according to an announcement from the Swiss based team. In an invitation to the press, BMW said the car, to be called F1.08, will be unveiled publicly for the first time at the new BMW vehicle delivery centre in Munich. A day later, a Tuesday, the new single seater will be tested for the first time at the Valencia circuit in Spain.
“Improvements can always be made across the board, but the greatest scope for progress clearly lies in aerodynamics,” Mario Theissen, team principal said in an interview. “It’s not a question of eliminating a specific weakness for 2008, but of finding the extra three to five per cent in all areas which can bring us up to the level of the top teams. It’s really a matter of fine-tuning – evolution rather than revolution,” the German added.
