Inside the BMW Sauber launch
Steven English reports on the unveiling of BMW's F1.09 challenger in Valencia and considers whether it will live up to the team's high hopes for it
"The ambition is always to achieve what the car is capable of. If the car is able to win the championship then I am going to want to be there. We have to be optimistic but we don't know how the car is going to be.
"Maybe we'll arrive in Australia with one of the quickest cars, and that would be excellent, but realistically we will arrive in the top six. If the car is winning then that will be great!"
