Disappointing qualifying session for BMW

Disappointing qualifying session for BMW

15 July 2006 / Results / Photos

Although BMW-Sauber dominated the two practice sessions on Friday and the one this morning their drivers were unable to show a strong performance in Saturday's qualifying session. Heidfeld qualified himself in 12th, while Villeneuve qualified himself in a disappointing 18th position.

Nick Heidfeld commented on his qualifying result: "The balance of the car was quite good. It often happens that we look very good on Saturday morning, but others make bigger improvements for qualifying in the afternoon. Having said that, my personal expectations were not as high as you would expect." 


Jacques Villeneuve commented: "This was very disappointing because the car is quick. After this morning we decided to go aggressively with our tyres for qualifying. We took a risk with the choice but I had traffic on both my laps. Starting from the back could really kill our race, but we will still keep working until the end as you never know what happens."
