Q: ...to win the championship? After all they are leading the championship because they have had no mechanical problems nor driver mistakes, whereas Ferrari and McLaren have both had (in the words of Lewis) some hickups. Can they keep it up? the constructors championship in particular, I belive that's a more realistic scenario since they are already leading it.
A: No one team will have a perfect season as we have already seen in terms of reliability and consistency of performance... BMW have made the best of things by not taking the strategic risks that Ferrari and McLaren take in order to win races... maybe they need to exploit the car's pace more instead of being conservative... they weren't so conservative in designing it.. so I've been waiting for them to turn the wick up a bit... unless this the plateau of their performance and they're going to fall back in the chase... which is more likely really ....
