BAR not letting up - technical chief

03 October 2004

BAR technical director Geoff Willis has insisted his team are not resting on their laurels despite comprehensively outscoring Renault in the second half of the season and having built a nine-point advantage over the French owned outfit.

"Despite our 9-point advantage over Renault, second place is certainly not yet guaranteed, so we will be ensuring that we take minimum risks in Suzuka to maintain and, we hope, extend our lead," said Willis.

"The B·A·R Honda 006 should be competitive at this circuit, which requires good aerodynamic efficiency, stability and change of direction," he added. "We have a number of small developments on the engine and chassis, which we hope will help in qualifying and the race. Despite our confidence in the car's performance, we expect both the Ferraris and the McLarens to be very strong here as well. Our target, as always, will be to get good points finishes from both cars and possibly a podium place. However, we must keep our primary objective in focus - to leave Suzuka with our lead over Renault extended."
