BMW bullish over Monza chances

A special aerodynamics package with the emphasis on low drag and ample engine power are the key to a successful showing at Monza. Bolstered by its strong performance here last year and a recent test at the circuit, the BMW Sauber F1 Team is travelling to Italy in bullish mood.

"Like last year, we will be lining up with an aero package specially developed for Monza," confirmed BMW team boss Mario Theissen. "In contrast to previous years, this time round the Italian GP does not mark the end of the European season. This year the final race in Europe will be in Spa, the week after Monza. Then we'll be off again for a run of three GPs overseas."

"We're very much looking forward to Monza and have some great memories of last year's race," he added. "We were really strong there in 2006. Nick qualified on the second row of the grid and Robert finished on the third step of the podium in what was only his third Formula One race. We will be looking to build on those good results this year."
