BMW drivers excited about magic 8-corner

BMW Sauber drivers Robert Kubica and Nick Heidfeld are looking forward to the upcoming Turkish Grand Prix. The pair hope to nail the challenging fast circuit better than in 2006 so that they can improve on their 12th and 14th positions from last year's race.

"The race in 2006 was disappointing," said Heidfeld. "Sixth place on the grid was good, but I was hit by Giancarlo Fisichella in the first corner and ultimately only just managed to coax a damaged car across the finishing line.

"The circuit does have overtaking possibilities, which is very good. It has an extremely long straight and there are slow and high-speed corners. Turn 8 is a favourite of mine: it's very fast and difficult."

Robert Kubica exclaimed: "An amazing circuit - Turn 8 has already staked its claim to fame. Most drivers find this section quite a challenge. It is very long and in fact consists of four different bends. It's great fun as soon as you've got your line sorted out.

"The circuit can also be pretty vicious, because occasionally you bottom out, lose traction and the car becomes unstable. We weren't particularly fast there in 2006. I hope things will look better in 2007."
