Munich/Hinwil, 21st August 2007. The BMW Sauber F1 Team realises the importance
of continuity and will, therefore, be contesting the 2008 FIA Formula One World
Championship with German driver Nick Heidfeld (30) and Robert Kubica (22) from
Poland.
BMW Motorsport Director Mario Theissen: "Both Nick and Robert have delivered
very strong performances in the course of this season. They have played a
decisive role in enabling the BMW Sauber F1 Team to firmly establish itself as
the third best team in Formula One. Forty two world championship points plus
two podium places says everything about Nick's achievements. Thanks to his
extensive experience he is making a substantial contribution to the progress of
the team. For Robert, 2007 is his first full season in the top echelon of motor
sport. In his brief Formula One career so far he has established himself as
equal to Nick. He is extremely fast and, for somebody so young, already has a
very sound understanding of technical matters. Robert is a rough diamond we
want to polish up into a winning driver. With this strong driver team we are in
an excellent position."
Nick Heidfeld: "For me it was always clear that I wanted to continue driving
for the BMW Sauber F1 Team, and I never doubted that would be the case. It is
tremendous being able to help build up a new team and doing my bit for it. When
I look at the progress we have made over the last two years, it's an incredible
incentive for me. Personally I have high sporting ambitions and I am certain I
can achieve them with the BMW Sauber F1 Team."
Robert Kubica: "I have now been in Formula One for just over one year and have
gathered a great deal of experience. Even so, I am learning new things every
day and making steady progress. We now have to concentrate on achieving our
ambitious common goals, and I'm confident that the team will be able to give me
all the necessary tools that I need to reward them for their renewed trust."
With regard to signing a test and reserve driver, an announcement will be made
at a later stage.
