=BMW You'll see that in time they will get their facts right and come out with the perfect car. They just lack some really good drivers like Alonso. After all it's the 2nd race in a "singular" team. I know it's bmw sauber but come on allmost all is bmw. In the race when it showed the team points, it simply wrote BMW. Wich is good

Model Year: 2011
I hope BMW Sauber does well this year but I am not counting on it. It is too soon to expect any better results than mid-field on a regular basis. BMW bought an average performing team when they bought Sauber. Remember, for the past few years Sauber has had Ferrari Power and could only get to the middle of the pack. They do not have a history of a consistantly high achieving team.
I was really put-off last year by Mario Theissen constantly blaming the Williams chassis when it became obvious to everyone that the problem was the BMW engine. They probably went too conservative to make the engine last two race weekends and it was no longer the most powerful in the field. Rather than admitting that they got the 2005 engine wrong, Mario kept saying that the Wiliams chassis was not good. Be a man, Mario, stop blaming others. Lets see who gets the blame this year if BMW Sauber does not improve.
In the meantime, it must be gratifying for Sir Frank and Patrick to see their Williams cars faster on track than the BMW Saubers. Renault has to be the favorites but I don't see them with a lock on the Championship yet. Both Ferrari and McLaren will improve and Honda has a shot if they can get someone in the pits who understands race strategy.
It's going to be fun.

Finnaly another F1 fanatic...
I agree with you on everything although about the remark of Williams vs BMW Sauber i have to say that the driver has a key role in getting the best out of the car and thus better lap times. We will see if overall williams will deliver the better car. I for one don't think so...but we'll have to wait and see.
And btw do you know what's sauber's apport to this car? Where i can find stuff like that? What is their apport to the car technicly and to the team?

Don't get me wrong, I hope that BMW does really well this year but I think wins are too much to expect. As far as the contribution of the driver it is, of course, important but the whole package is what counts. It is what made MS so successful. Good car, good driver, good team and good co-ordination. (Having Ruebens running interference didn't hurt either.)
For those who are knocking Alonso, he is the real deal. Don't sell him short. He is smart, young and very fast.
