BMW’s is quickest F1 car in 2007 - analysis
February 20, 2007
An article of the Swiss newspaper Blick claims that, after analysing the ‘long runs’ of all the front-running teams in winter testing, BMW-Sauber’s new ‘F1.07′ is actually quicker than McLaren, Ferrari and Renault. Dispensing with the misleading end-of-day time sheets which often highlight low-fuel and new-tyre fliers, Blick said the analysis only took into consideration lap times logged during runs of 12 laps or more. The newspaper said the Hinwil-built BMW is currently two tenths on average quicker than the new McLaren, and up to half a second faster than Ferrari’s ‘F2007′ model.
Very interesting analysis. And more interesting would be the reaction/responses of different teams on this analysis. But we are quiet sure that BMW-Sauber will play a big role in deciding this year titles.
