BMW to debut power steering system
BMW Sauber have confirmed that they will use their new power steering system for the first time in this weekend's Monaco Grand Prix
The device was originally scheduled to appear in the previous race in Spain, but its debut was deferred.
It has been introduced to help improve the feeling of the steering for the drivers, and was cleared for use after a successful test at Paul Ricard last week.
The power steering system is one of a number of upgrades that will appear on the F1.07 in Monte Carlo.
"We have developed a new front wing generating maximum downforce, which we used for the first time - successfully - in Barcelona. We will modify this wing again for Monaco," said technical director Willy Rampf.
"Plus, we will be introducing totally new front brake ducts and modifications to the rear bodywork.
"In addition, we will also use for the first time a new power steering that provides more feedback to the drivers."
BMW have taken fourth place in each of the four races held so far in 2007, and currently hold a comfortable third place in the constructors' standings.
