BMW Sauber F1 Team - Spanish Grand Prix - Qualifying

Spanish Grand Prix - Qualifying, Saturday - 12.05.07 Weather: Sunny and
dry, 27-28°C Air, 47-50°C Track Barcelona (Spain). In Spain, at
the European curtain raiser of the Formula 1 season, the BMW Sauber F1
Team has again a car on the third row of the grid. Robert Kubica was
fifth and Nick Heidfeld seventh. Robert Kubica: BMW Sauber
F1.07-07/BMW P86/7 Qualifying: 5th, 1.22.253 min (3rd Practice: 3rd,
1.21.364min) "I am happy after that as I think the position is
good considering I struggled with the balance of my car. This morning
it was looking better, but then this afternoon I picked up oversteer. I
hope tomorrow the condition of the track will be better with more
rubber down, which should help me with my oversteer. I am now looking
forward to a good race tomorrow with no problems. We are third in the
championship and today we were the third strongest team." Nick
Heidfeld: BMW Sauber F1.07-05/BMW P86/7 Qualifying: 7th, 1.22.389 min
(3rd Practice: 4th, 1.21.464 min) "I am happy so far as my last lap
was pretty good. The balance of my car was alright, and after
yesterday's free practice we only did very minor changes. After only
one run in Q2 we were already safe for the top ten, which means I have
again saved a set of fresh tyres for the race. Normally my starts are
quite good and luckily my grid position is on the clean side of the
track." Mario Theissen (BMW Motorsport Director): "All in
all we are satisfied with qualifying. We demonstrated after the four
week break we are still the third best team on the grid. I am happy
Robert was quick in the third part of qualifying and so was fifth,
while Nick only missed the third row by a very small margin. For our
drivers it is a good position for the race because both are on the
clean side of the grid." Willy Rampf (Technical Director):
"I'm pleased with the qualifying result. Obviously it would have
been nice to have our drivers fifth and sixth, but they are both on the
clean side of the track and have the chance to gain position at the
start. In addition, I'm confident we have the right strategy for the
race. So far, we've had a trouble-free weekend, so I'm really
optimistic for tomorrow."
