F1.08 the most reliable car in F1

The BMW Sauber Formula One Team has not only made its best start to a Formula One season in 2008 - the BMW Sauber F1.08 is also proving to be the most reliable car in motor sport's elite class. The BMW Sauber F1 Team has only been in the pinnacle of motorsport since 2006.

"To finish first, you must first finish," is an old Formula One proverb. In its quest for the first Grand Prix victory in the team's history, the BMW Sauber F1 Team's reliability is providing the best possible basis for the team to also stand at the top of the podium at some time.

In the six Grands Prix so far, the F1.08 has completed 727 laps. This is more than any other Formula One car. Drivers Nick Heidfeld and Robert Kubica are almost equal in this context. While the German has completed 367 laps, his Polish team-mate is just seven laps behind on 360.

Over the races so far, the BMW Sauber F1 Team has driven a total distance of 3521 kilometres. Last year the BMW Sauber F1 Team came second in the reliability rankings. In 2006 it was the third most reliable team.
