“2007 marks the second and final year of our development phase,” added Theissen. “Our aim is to make it onto the podium on our own merit. If the leading teams show any sign of weakness, we want to be ready to breach the gap. Victories on our own merit are not yet a realistic prospect for 2007. We are aiming for that in 2008. In 2009 we want to be in contention for the world championship title.”

The change to standard tyres with less grip has played its part when considering the design of the car. “It is obvious that the cars are going to slide around more, and so it was important for us to build a car that is easy to drive and that our drivers can trust sufficiently to go on the attack,” Rampf explained. “We should also expect the cars generally to run with slightly more downforce in order to compensate for the loss of grip.”
