The current Formula One season draws to an end. Two races and the constructors' championship was already decided to take with Ferrari this year at prices after McLaren was disqualified under the Ferrari spy scandal. drivers' championship is almost hands rookie sensation Lewis Hamilton of McLaren after his victory at the recently concluded Grand Prix of Japan. But for BMW Sauber next season is just an extension of what they are now closer to McLaren and Ferrari pioneers.
At the next race, the Grand Prix, the team of Nick Heidfeld and Robert Kubica will try to end their campaign this season on a high note. The team has performed well this season surprisingly Toyota, Honda, Williams, Renault and defending champion. And next year, BMW Sauber will turn to a serious competitor to Ferrari or McLaren.
At the next Grand Prix, Nick Heidfeld has this to say about the track: "Put one, two and three are among my favorite sections in the racing calendar. You approach the first corner at high speed, there go flat, but then the corner tightens more and more and you have to move to the second. "
"Making a clean exit will be even more interesting next year when we will be driving without traction control again. Overall I'm quite fond of this circuit. Although it is so new, the track layout has a natural appearance and character about it. the paddock and grandstands are also very distinctive and absolutely huge in size.
"The same thing for a number of buildings in downtown Shanghai, but the ultramodern skyscrapers, hotels and restaurants along the Bund are just part of the image. In many districts and the surrounding you come across a cleft stick. This year, my family will be joining me for the Asian tour and I hope we find some time to visit more pleasant side of the city together. "
Robert Kubica, the other returns to the race last year, saying: "After Fuji we go straight to China. Great Last year, the prize was very interesting for me to wet qualifying, then touch with Robert Doornbos at the start of the race. I gained a lot of posts but when the track was drying we put the grooved tires too soon. "Both Kubica and Nick Heidfeld will drive for Chinese to travel with their BMW F1.07 strut equipped car.
Like Heidfeld, Polish Formula One driver is also monitoring a "nice" one. "Quite a nice track with, again, a very long straight. Perhaps there is a potential to exceed the end of the long straight. It's very long, but it is not easy because before the line right there is a very fast right hand corner and it is always difficult to follow very closely the cars there. "
