They have played a decisive role in enabling the BMW Sauber F1 Team to firmly establish itself as the third best team in Formula One.
Forty two world championship points plus two podium places says everything about Nick’s achievements. Thanks to his extensive experience he is making a substantial contribution to the progress of the team.
