Updated double diffuser for BMW

05 July 2009

Mario Theissen firmly believes that BMW will return to its winning ways but acknowledges that the Swiss-German team will need time to do so. After setting an upward trend for the last three seasons, the slump that is 2009 is gradually being overcome with more upgrades being used next weekend.

Theissen is aware that improvements will take time to work

Championship contenders at this stage last season, the team is now concentrating more on aerodynamic advancements after abandoning KERS (Kinetic Energy Recovery System). "After three successful years, this recent period has been the first set-back for our team and is one which we will overcome," said team principal Theissen. "After all, this is the same team in Munich and Hinwil that has delivered continuous improvements since the team was founded.



"We are all absolutely determined to start moving forwards again and I expect us to experience an upturn in form; it is certainly not easy to make up lost ground without the chance to do any testing but that is what we're aiming to do. We are taking a series of mechanical improvements to the Eifel mountains as well as a further developed version of our 'double-decker' diffuser."
