BMW: Too early for championship talk

Robert Kubica on Sunday scored his and his team's first win in Formula One, and the Polish driver moved into the championship lead after the first seven races of the season.

Kubica now leads McLaren's Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari's Felipe Massa by four points, with the Briton's chances of a good result in the next race in France already compromised by a penalty.

BMW are just three points behind Ferrari in the constructors' championship.

But despite their position in the standings, Rampf says it's too early to think of the titles.

"I think it is too early to say," said Rampf. "We are very proud of what we achieved up to now with the first victory, and the position one and two is even better. It is what you dream of. But to think about the world championship is nice, but much too early."

BMW motorsport boss said the team will be focusing on each race before thinking of bigger things.

"Let's see. We look at every single race individually and now we focus on Magny-Cours to see what we can do there," said Theissen, who admitted the team had already achieved their goal for the season.

"It is certainly missions accomplished. Everything that comes now is on top," he added.

Theissen also said he was not surprised by Kubica's victory following the Pole's strong season so far.

"I was not surprised. He has put in a very strong performance since Melbourne and it was clear that he was about to win a race," Theissen said.

Rampf insisted the team have to stay realistic despite their victory, as he reckons Ferrari and McLaren are still a step ahead in terms of pace.

"I think it is still the same," Rampf said of the current pecking order. "From the beginning of the season there is a very strong three teams, and Ferrari and McLaren were still equal or slightly ahead of us, and that is still the case. I think the picture has not really changed.

"We have to be realistic. Normally they are slightly better than us, and today we benefited from the incident at the end of the pitlane but that is part of the game.

"If you want to win, everything has to be perfect and that is what happened to us. Some other teams were not so lucky."
