Bmw Aims Monaco flawless weekend

After the ordeals and trials so Spanish concluded Grand Prix, BMW Sauber is the goal of a fault-free Monaco race. The team believes it has solved the problems that caused Nick Heidfeld € ™ s early retirement Barcelona in particular those that failed was his pit stop.

Although his team mate Robert Kubica crossed the line fourth in Barcelona to get five points, Heidfeld € ™ s race ended on lap 46 after his F1.07â € ™ s gearbox failed. German Formula One auto racing driver for BMW Sauber had suffered before a nearly disastrous pit stop that saw him leave the pits with the pneumatic gun is still connected to its right front wheel and the wheel nut flying in the path of a Toyota mechanic.

â € œWe got to the bottom of gearbox problem in Barcelona before the race day was over, and the corrective measures already implemented during the test at Paul Ricard, â € says BMW Motorsport Director, Mario Theissen.

Theissen added, â € œWe have also worked well through Nick failed to stop up and lessons learned on in the future. For us in Monte Carlo is a case of reaping a faultless weekend and further cementing our third place in the constructors standings.â €

At last week € ™ s French test BMW Sauber team has looked promising revolves around Paul Ricarda € ™ s 2D configuration SC Especially designed to mimic the twists and turns of Monaco. BMW Sauber covered over 250 laps of this abbreviated version of the track, with Timo Glock eighth tester faster clock time on Tuesday and Kubica finished fourth on Wednesday.

The F1.07 has undergone major changes for high aerodynamic downforce Monte Carlo and the race will also feature a new front axle designed specifically to deal with the street circuit € ™ s unusually sharp bends. The team € ™ s team of engineers not only focus on the BMW catalytic converter , but also on the crucial auto parts. Another advantage for the Swiss-German team is that both cars will be equipped with fresh and powerful V8 engines. The engine is considered a bonus to Monaco considered one of the most demanding circuits lower rev range.

BMW Sauber is currently third in the Constructors standings € ™ with 23 points, 26 behind second-placed Ferrari and 12 ahead of Renault, its nearest rival.

Another Formula One team relies is Toyota. The Japanese team hopes a return to form on the next weekend € ™ s Grand Prix of Monaco. After a disappointing start to the season, Toyota is hoping that recent revisions to the TF107 will allow them to add to its current count of just five points. The bunch of reviews and was in the car last round in Barcelona, where neither Ralf Schumacher or Jarno Trulli finished.

â € œOur car has improved, although it is not clear from my results in qualifying or the race, but we still have work to do and we will push hard for a better result in Monaco, â € said Schumacher. Trulli added â € œWe were strong in qualifying and was particularly encouraging to see we had the same fuel strategy that the principal record, so performance-wise we have taken a step forward. If we return to the reliability we showed at the start of the season, Monaco should be a positive weekend for us.â €

â € œThe factors that determine performance in Monaco are completely different from all other races, â € said Pascal Vasselon, the team € ™ s general manager of the chassis. â € œEngine power and aerodynamics are a little less important in Monaco than elsewhere so that the tires are and as the key drivers € factors.â

Vasselon added, â € CERN Spain the new aero package worked well, gave us extra two or three tenths as expected, â € he added. â € œWe were unable to demonstrate clearly in the race, but Jarnoâ € ™ s back in the standings show that we have made an improvement, especially if we consider that we had a similar fuel strategy to the cars front. In Monaco we must show this in the race and return to the points.â €

Separately, the weekend of the Monaco race will provide an additional test logistics for Formula One tire supplier Bridgestone. â € œYou need as much grip as possible and the teams will run their cars with a maximum load aerodynamic design, â € says Kees van de Grint, Bridgestoneâ € ™ s director of track engineering operations. â € œTraction acceleration is crucial to so many corners, but be careful about is not desirable understeer so € Armco about.â

Bridgestone will bring 2200 Formula One tires Bridgestone Potenza tires and 650 tires Bridgestone Potenza GP2 Series with the event. The weight of the tires brought racing Formula One rises to 22,000 kilograms. In addition, there are eight machines and eight assembly machines adjustments, which are used to adjust and balance tires wheels delivered by the teams.

â € CERN time the competition was very difficult with the schedule the way it is in Monaco, € underlined van de Grint. â € œYou make his conclusions run on the track on Thursday, but then the circuit may be very different next time that ran on it on Saturday. This year is not so difficult, but this is an issue that certainly rewards the drivers with experience and good € judgement.â

He added: â € œMonaco is not as difficult as it could in terms of logistics. It is a street circuit so of course is different operate from a purpose-built facilities, but we have a good position and everything seems to work well. Of course, there is a greater distance between the trailer and adjustment area than elsewhere, but the sacrifice of a longer walk is worth when you're in a destination as grand as Monaco.â €
