BMW-sauber: writing a page of history on Montreal 30th anniversary

In over a season of racing only Mclaren and Ferrari drivers have laid claim to grand prix victories; after such a long time since another team had managed to allow one of its drivers the package to deliver P1, we formula one fans were left betting on either Silver arrows or Red devils for victory. This time is no more as today on the sixth of June 2008 BMW Sauber outfit has written a momentous page of history in formula 1.

Eventually it happened, a victory they promised they would deliver in 2008 and it came sooner rather than later; Robert Kubica the first ever pole F1 driver winning his first ever Grand prix in a 24 GP career has embraced glory beyond all measures with teammate Nick Heidfeld securing second place; guaranteeing a first ever one-two in the process, he may have come second yet credits where it is due allowing Kubica through marking one of the most amazing team effort yet to be seen by other teams, whilst doing the dirty work of holding Alonso in the resurgent Renault in third place.

What a historic moment this has been for the BMW-sauber squad, the F1.08 deprived of its viking horns, the beast came out on top of the trickiest track conditions, performing to the highest level; and again credits where it is due the brilliant team strategy paramount to the build up to victory in the form of fuelling Heidfeld to the max, switching from a two stop strategy to a one stopper taking advantage of the safety car deployment, thenceforward calculatting a formidable tactical plans of evil genius beyond measures, the likes of which will send chills down the spines of both Ferrari and Mclaren staffs.

Most importantly Nick Heidfeld and Robert Kubica have shown what an amazing pair of drivers they are and how their teamwork is contributing to the team's standing in the manufacturer's championship, Felipe Massa could only salvage Ferrari's spot at the top of the hierarchy for now, gasping for air, no where near safety the BMWs are on hot pursuit for everything that has silverware on it!!!

Regardless of Hamilton's crash with Raikkonen taking both men out; ignore for one minute Alonso's fast deteriorating brakes for a second, and take a deep breath for BMW the essence of racing has finally materialised!!!

History has been made today in Montreal and I cannot help to look forward to the next level!

BMW over to you...
