About the BMW Sauber F1.07
Designed under technical director Willy Rampf, the F1.07 was the first car designed fully by BMW after it bought the Sauber team. Its P86/7 V8 was a homologated development of the 2006 P86, and it introduced a seamless-shift QuickShift gearbox. Nick Heidfeld scored both of its podiums, second in Canada and third in Hungary, and the team scored points with at least one car in every race. Robert Kubica's best results were three fourth places, in Spain, France and Britain.
