Formula 1 Team BMW Sauber is to carry out a detailed analysis of Nick Heidfeld and Robert Kubica's first lap crash at the Nurburgring.
Team boss Mario Theissen believes that the clash, which sent both to the rear of the field, cost BMW an almost certain podium on home ground.
Heidfeld and Kubica recovered and made it to sixth and seventh places, respectively; but with Kimi Raikkonen retiring and Lewis Hamilton having a somewhat miserable afternoon, a top three finish was opened to competitors.
The hassle took place to the pair as Heidfeld tried to regain his fourth place from Kubica into the second corner, having been passed by the Pole into turn one.
On this regard, Theissen commented that a clash between team-mates obviously is not exactly what they wanted to witness. But he assured that the situation will now be analyzed.
Heidfeld accused Kubica of constricting him off the track; on the other hand, Kubica believed that Heidfeld was merely carrying too much speed to avoid hitting him.
The team boss continued that the team would rely on the data from the cars instead of his drivers' arbitrary beliefs. According to him, if you ask the two drivers who are involved in such an incident, you get two entirely different points of view.
Well that is understandable because man by nature is bias to himself.
But Theissen firmly adheres that they need first to analyze the race data, and then sit down with the drivers and talk about the situation. He stood that the team’s goal is to avoid such kind of accidents in the future races.
Theissen admitted that Heidfeld would not have had finished the race if the red flag had not given the BMW team a chance to repair the damage incurred in the collision.
The boss also said that the collision with Robert resulted in a broken tie rod on Nick's car, and he normally would not have been able to continue. But Theissen continued that the break was just long enough to replace the damaged car part.
