Sauber confident for Malaysia

Peter Sauber is confident the BMW team will perform well in the next round of the F1 season at Sepang, Malaysia. The former team owner believes the results of the Malaysian race will be far more important for the rest of the season than those of Melbourne.

"The results of the next Grand Prix on April 8th in Malaysia will have more significance than those in Australia because Sepang demands high aerodynamic efficiency and a good balance of the cars," Sauber said. "Additionally, the track is very challenging on the rear tyres due to its special characteristics."

"I am confident the BMW Sauber F1.07 will also be able to prove its ability to perform in these conditions because we have made great progress regarding the aerodynamics since the switch to a three-shift system in the wind tunnel and the start of our supercomputer Albert2," he added. "We have plenty of reason to look forward to the next races! I will personally be in the pit lane for the Malaysian GP, and I hope our positive development will continue at my season premiere."
