BMW’s own boasts are more reserved, but key rival Mercedes-Benz thinks its fellow German manufacturer will win in 2007.
Hinwil based Sauber’s progress since the BMW buyout has been impressive to the point that Norbert Haug – who is competition director for McLaren’s engine partner – thinks Nick Heidfeld or Robert Kubica will climb to the top step of the podium at some point this year.
To the Swiss newspaper Blick, Haug said one specialist journalist will be disappointed when his bet that Ferrari will win 14 races this year is lost.
“We will make sure of that,” the German said.
“I also think that BMW-Sauber will soon win a race; and whoever writes off Renault is in my opinion making a mistake.”
