BMW are hopeful but Peter Sauber's not sure about Ferrari
BMW Sauber are full of confidence that their new car will help them win more podium finishes this season and to make their challenge for the world title in 2009.
BMW Sauber, who took over Sauber at the end of 2005, claimed two podium finishes in 2006 and the team boss Mario Theissen said:
"Our aim is to make it onto the podium in 2007 on our own merit. Victories are not yet a realistic prospect.
"We are aiming for that in 2008. In 2009 we want to be in contention for the world championship."
Mario Theissen is sure his team will continue to improve this year.
"In 2006 we exceeded our own targets and now expectations are rising faster than the team can develop," Mario Theissen said.
But Peter Sauber, the former team boss who introduced both of Ferrari's current drivers to Formula One, sees Ferrari facing a difficult season after the departure of Michael Schumacher.
"I think after Michael it will be a difficult year for Ferrari," said Peter Sauber, who sold his Ferrari-powered team to BMW in 2005, and was speaking to reporters at the launch of the new BMW-Sauber car.
