Felipe Massa

Ferrari driver Felipe Massa says BMW Sauber are ahead of his team in the race to be ready for the new F1 season. “The McLaren looks quick, but for me the BMW is the best of all at the moment,” Felipe Massa told Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport.

The McLaren is the quickest over a single lap, but BMW are impressively consistent even if maybe they are not yet the most reliable. For now, I put them ahead of Ferrari and McLaren,” said Massa. “BMW were impressive in Valencia and in Jerez as well they did very, very interesting tests. I say that not just looking at this final day (of testing), but at their consistency when they did long-distance simulations.”

WOW ! We earlier wrote that Dr Thessien said that the gap between BMW-Sauber and the top teams is closing, what more proof does one needs to take his [Dr Theissen's] talks seriously. Even we believe that if [and it's a big IF], Nick and Kubica would drive to their true potential, BMW can give some teams a good run for their money this season.
