BMW Sauber

6th – 8th June 2008 for 7th of 18 World Championship Races

Munich/Hinwil, May 30, 2008 -- Although the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal is also labelled a street circuit, one could hardly imagine a greater contrast to the Monaco course. When Formula One gathers for the Canadian Grand Prix on 8th June, there will be no sign of the extra wings that adorned the cars in the Principality. The picturesquely sited island circuit in the mighty St Lawrence River is no permanent race track either, but it is respectably fast. To boost speed along the straights, the aerodynamic set-up is geared towards relatively low downforce.

Weather: Rain at the start, drying out later. Air: 19-21, Track: 19-22

Monte Carlo, Monaco, 05/27/2008 -- Finishing second in the most prestigious Grand Prix of the year, Robert Kubica made sure he took part in the podium celebrations held in the principality’s famous winners’ lounge. It was the team’s fourth podium this season and their eighth overall. Kubica’s team mate, Nick Heidfeld, who has four podiums to his credit, had a black Sunday. Having started from 12th he had improved to fifth when Fernando Alonso (Renault) hit the side of his car on lap 14. In the end Heidfeld brought his damaged F1.08 to the chequered flag in 14th and last place.

Valencia, 18th May 2008 -- Andy Priaulx (GB) of BMW Team UK claimed his second podium result in this year’s FIA World Touring Car Championship. At Valencia’s “Circuit de la Comunitat” he finished third in the sixth round of the season. In the first race of the day the reigning World Champion finished seventh.

BMW Team Germany driver Jörg Müller (DE) also collected points at what was the series’ maiden event on European soil in 2008. His team-mate Augusto Farfus (BR) and BMW Team Italy-Spain’s Alessandro Zanardi (IT) and Félix Porteiro (ES), however, failed to make it into the top-eight in either race. Victory in the two sprint races at the 4.005-kilometre track went to Chevrolet’s Robert Huff (GB) and Alain Menu (CH).
