BMW boss confident for Monaco

Mario Theissen confident about Monaco

BMW team boss Mario Theissen is happy that his team got the most possible out of the Turkish Grand Prix with fourth and fifth places keeping the team in second place in the constructors' championship. Heading to Monaco, Theissen is confident his team will continue to be competitive.

In the race at Istanbul, we achieved the optimum available from our fifth and ninth grid positions," Theissen said. "Having scored nine points on such a challenging track from this poor initial position, we can travel home in a happy mood. Both our drivers gained positions right at the start. Then, during the first set of pit stops, it didn't come as a surprise for us that Robert was passed by Kimi Räikkönen. Nick, on the other hand, gained two positions, with his first long stint. We encountered no technical problems whatsoever and pour pit stops were good, too."

"Fourth and fifth positions and the nine points scored with these results confirm the previous achievements of our team," he added. "Now, we are travelling to the next GP venue, Monaco, in a confident mood."
