BMW has managed to make it into the super pole at all the qualifications this season, but it seems that with two GPs to go, the performance of the German team is fading. Kubica and Heidfeld will start in 8th and 9th position, respectively, but they are hoping for a helping hand from the weather tomorrow to achieve much better performances.<\/p>\n
Nick Heidfeld – 9th and 8th<\/b><\/p>\n
\u00ab I can’t complain about my result today because the car was satisfactory. However, the time I lost during the free practice session 2 certainly influenced my result a lot. It was only in Q2 that I was able to drive quickly, but not yet in all the corners. Then in Q3, the balance of the car with the fuel was not good at all. \u00bb<\/p>\n
\u00ab Tomorrow we expect it to rain. There is a hurricane in the area, but maybe it will have moved by then, although for now it is not certain. \u00bb<\/p>\n
Robert Kubica – 7th and 9th<\/b><\/p>\n
\u00ab Being honest, I expected a much better performance today. This morning, in practice, the car was good and the settings were as well. However, quite simply, it was not a good afternoon. I just have to hope that things go better for me tomorrow. \u00bb<\/p>\n
Mario Theissen – BMW Motorsport Director<\/b><\/p>\n
\u00ab We had no issues during qualifying, and like all the GPs since the start of the season, we got both our drivers into Q3. This time, however, it’s in 8th and 9th position. \u00bb<\/p>\n
\u00ab With the forecasts predicting rain, we will see how our positions on the grid hold up. \u00bb<\/p>\n
Willy Rampf – Technical Director<\/b><\/p>\n
\u00ab Nick [Heidfeld] and Robert [Kubica] reached the third part of qualifying without any problems. Secretly of course, we had hoped for better positions than 8 and 9, but regardless of the weather conditions, we will be in good shape tomorrow. \u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
