Theissen warns BMW will be strong in Bahrain

BMW motorsport director Mario Theissen has warned rivals that his team will be at least as competitive as it has been in the first two rounds of the season and is highly motivated to go do even better in Bahrain.

"Our bottom line after the first batch of overseas races looks pretty good: we're very happy with our two second places in Melbourne and Sepang, our first fastest race lap in Malaysia and 19 points in the championship," Theissen said.

"So, after a brief pit stop back home, we will be heading for Bahrain well motivated," he added. "We aim to keep up the same level of performance as we've shown so far."
