BMW boss still eyeing first win this year

BMW motorsport director Mario Theissen says he believes his team can still achieve its original goal for 2008 - winning its maiden Grand Prix after finishing both the first two rounds in second place. 

"We set two targets for this year - one of them was to make the battle in front of us into a three-way battle and it looks like we're doing that, at least based on the two races so far," Theissen said. "The other target is to win our first race this year and I'm confident we can do that. "
