BMW plotting F1 title challenge
BMW Sauber are hoping to break the stranglehold of Ferrari and McLaren in 2008 and turn the new Formula One season into a three-horse race.
BMW were second in the constructors championship last year, 103 points behind Ferrari, but only after McLaren had been stripped of all their points.
Speaking at the launch of their new F1.08 car, team boss Mario Theissen was optimistic for the coming season.
We're confident we can turn the battle into more than two teams
BMW are still awaiting their first F1 victory, but German driver Nick Heidfeld did finish second in Canada - the team's highest ever placing - and was third in Hungary.
Heidfeld and Polish team-mate Robert Kubica have again
been confirmed to drive for the team in 2008, and Heidfeld is targeting
victories.
The new season gets underway in Australia on March 16.
