BMW boss wants Hungary podium
Theissen wants podium in hungary
BMW team principal Mario Theissen is determined that his team finish on the podium in this week's Hungarian Grand Prix. The team has finished on the podium at the Hungaroring for the past two years and Theissen is hungry for a hat-trick.

"In the last two years, the Hungarian Grand Prix was a very exciting affair for us," Theissen said. "In 2006 the weather turned the race into a cliffhanger, and in 2007 an offensive strategy really put us on our mettle but rewarded us with a podium place. For 2008 the goal is to make it onto the Budapest podium for the third consecutive time."


"Our pledge is to get both cars firmly into the top ten qualifiers and take home another decent points haul from the race," he added. "The Hungaroring makes huge demands on the cars' aerodynamics and brakes. At 58 per cent, the full-throttle percentage is at the lower end. However, temperatures could become critical for the powertrain. It's generally hot in Budapest in August, and the heat tends to build up in the dust bowl of the circuit. Plus the low average speed does its bit to drive cooling systems to the limits."
