BMW Sauber technical director Willy Rampf says there are no regrets at his team about taking a radical approach with its 2008 car, despite the trouble the team has had getting up to speed.
"This approach was the only option to close the gap to the front-runners," Rampf told the official F1 webste. "You don't get to the front by being conservative. Formula One is on a level that forces you to take calculated risks and that's exactly what we've done."
"There is no doubt the new car is considerably faster than the old one, but it's more difficult to exploit its full potential at any given time and condition," he added. We still need to udnerstand the car better and are learning every day."
