Come full circle: interview with Willy Rampf
Technical director Willy Rampf spent much of his earlier career with BMW, before joining the Sauber Formula One team. Now the two companies are one, and Rampf finds himself enjoying the best of both worlds: a team he knows so well, with an employer who can give so much. Will BMW-Sauber be one of the biggest surprises of 2006? Adam Cooper talked to the German at the team's launch this week
Could BMW-Sauber be one of the surprises of the 2006 season? That's just one of the many questions that remain unanswered, as we edge towards what promises to be a fascinating year for the sport.
Others may have new engines, tyre partners and even owners, but there's no doubt that the arrival of BMW as an entrant on its own right is the most significant change to this year's line-up. After six years with Williams, the Munich manufacturer is now in change of its own destiny, and with Sauber, it is building on solid foundations.
