Theissen is proud of BMW's success
The Hinwil based team lie a firm second in the championship, on account of McLaren’s expulsion, but with a swag of points on verge of breaking 100, Theissen is extremely satisfied with the result.
“For BMW this has been a successful season. We can be proud of what we have achieved, both in terms of our development work over the winter and the pace of development during the season. In our two start-up years we have reached our target each time," said Theissen.
"In 2007 we started out from fifth place in the World Championship - with 36 championship points earned in our debut season. Fourth place with a clear points increase was a firm commitment, third place an option,” he said.
The BMW F1.07 was immediately quick out of the box, and turned many heads during winter testing. From lights at Melbourne, right up until now, the BMW’s have been consistently nipping at the heels of Ferrari and McLaren, with many a great battle between the teams ensuing.
"It was very gratifying to be able to see ourselves as the third-strongest team right from the start and to shore up that position in virtually every race,” said the German.
"An administrative decision even handed us second place on a plate, but that really doesn't mean anything to us as we know there are still four cars that are faster than ours. Our aim is to beat them out on the race track."
