Running to Time: Interview with Mario Theissen
Mario Theissen has a lot on his mind. The German is preparing for what will be his crucial second season as BMW Sauber boss. Preseason form has been encouraging, but Theissen is in no rush to race to the top step and wants to stick to the schedule. As the new season draws ever closer he sat down with Mathias Brunner to look back on his debut year as a team boss and gaze forward to year two of BMW's three-year plan
Last year, after switching their attention away from Williams and buying up the Sauber team, BMW started a new path on their Formula One journey. One year on, many are tipping them to be fast starters in Melbourne after some impressive pre-season form.
But while there is no doubting the fact the team is looking strong, Theissen is wary of over-optimism and simply insists he is sticking to the pre-determined game plan to build respectability in 2007 and seek victories in 2008.
