Strong performance and first championship points for the new BMW Sauber F1 Team.
Nick Heidfeld drove an impressive
race in the Petronas Malaysian Grand Prix in Sepang, before an engine
failure cost him fifth place. Jacques Villeneuve finished seventh and
thus collected two championship points.
Jacques Villeneuve:
"I got held up early on behind Trulli, which was a pity because it cost me
time, but once I had overtaken him it was just a question of running to
the end. Physically it was an easier race than I had expected and I knew
I should be in good shape mechanically because it was the first race for
my engine."
"It was bad luck for Nick, but we’ve scored the points we
should have taken in Bahrain so I am happy. The race pace was strong, so
we need now to work on our qualifying."
