With major rule changes due for the 2009 F1 season, and a competitive year for the BMW Sauber F1 team in which it won its first Grand Prix, team boss Mario Theissen says the goal is for his outfit to be fighting for the title next year.
"In consideration of this situation, a shift in the balance of power on the 2009 Formula One grid is entirely possible," Theissen said of the rule changes. "In both Munich and Hinwil, we have been working flat-out on the developments for the coming season and the work on the different projects is progressing as scheduled, so far."
"The roll-out of the BMW Sauber F1.09 has been scheduled for 20th January at Valencia," he added. "Afterwards, we will conduct three further tests before the 2009 season kicks off in Melbourne on 29th March - some weeks later than was the case in recent years. The challenges are big but we will stick to our ambitious goal: in 2009, we want to be one of the teams battling it out for the title."
