Another package of new components at Silverstone - Theissen

The Formula One circus will travel to the historic Silverstone circuit for the last time this weekend. BMW Motorsport Director Mario Theissen previews the British Grand Prix and hopes that the new improvements on the car will pay-off this weekend.

Mario Theissen: "Going into the British Grand Prix we are well aware that we still have a serious amount of work to do. However, we can now build on our performance in Istanbul. We fitted a double-decker diffuser for the first time in Turkey and the effect was clear. Our car was fast enough to score points thanks to our own performance.

"Of course, nobody within the team is satisfied with the result, but we will use it as a platform to put the next steps into action. We have increased our speed of development and will arrive at Silverstone with another package of new components. From now on we will introduce significant improvements to the car at two to three-race intervals, and these will include further development stages of the double-decker diffuser. We are a long way away from writing off the 2009 season."
