Avant d'entamer la longue semaine des 24 Heures, l'Autrichien a salué la victoire de Robert Kubica et le doublé de l'équipe germanique au Canada.
Klien était du voyage à Montréal, mais a quitté ses camarades d'écurie après la qualification pour rejoindre l'Europe.
« Je suis très heureux pour toute l'équipe BMW Sauber, pour Nick, et Robert » déclarait-il. « Lorsque j'ai rejoint l'équipe cet hiver, puis conduit la F1.08 – j'ai tout de suite su qu'il y avait une réelle chance de victoire cette saison. »
« Parvenir à un doublé, de cette manière, avec deux pilotes sur des stratégies différentes – et voir Robert prendre la tête du championnat du monde des pilotes est un moment très spécial. C'est un grand moment pour l'équipe à Hinwil et pour Mario Theissen » soulignait le pilote autrichien.
« Je suis sûr que cela permettra également à l'équipe de franchir le niveau supérieur car le succès a tendance à appeler plus de succès. Je continuerai à travailler d'arrache-pied pour les aider à atteindre leurs objectifs cette saison » ajoutait-il.
Prochain Grand Prix le 22 juin à Magny-cours!

Un possible bouleversement de la hiérarchie était annoncé, après une semaine cruciale d'essais privés sur le tracé de Barcelone, à l'arrivée du Grand Prix d'Espagne. Il n'en a finalement rien été, déclare Christian Klien, troisième pilote de l'écurie BMW, qui laisse la Scuderia Ferrari en haut de l'affiche et le duo McLaren-BMW sur un pied d'égalité.
"Les forces en présence n'ont pas vraiment changé. Ferrari est toujours au top." affirme le jeune autrichien. "Je crois que nous sommes très proches de McLaren. Nos temps au tour à Barcelone étaient quasiment identiques. Nous aurions terminé la course devant McLaren si nous avions démarré la course devant eux. Nous avons un niveau de performance similaire."
Avant la prochaine échéance, en Turquie, Klien parie sur des écarts plus conséquents: "Je pense que les différences entre les équipes seront un peu plus grandes, nous ne venons qu'une fois par an sur ce circuit." ajoute-t-il. "C'est un tracé très long, et les écuries ne le connaissent pas aussi bien que Barcelone. Je ne crois pas que la hiérarchie sera modifiée, car il n'y a pas de sessions d'essais prévues avant la course."
GP Update
13 Mar 2008
With its street circuit-style track, excellent weather and unique
atmosphere, BMW Sauber tester Christian Klien believes the Australian
Grand Prix is a clear favourite with most of the Formula One drivers.
Klien has raced at Melbourne’s Albert Park on three occasions, starting
in 2004 when he made his Formula One debut for Jaguar Racing one month
after celebrating his 21st birthday.
“I remember my first weekend very well because I had been testing all winter and finally I arrived here for my first Grand Prix,” he said. “I liked the circuit immediately and remember the first time I drove my car out onto the track for free practice; that was a very special moment.I also remember being amazed to see how many fans there were, and being surprised also that everyone knew who I was; that is something you don’t expect!”
The Austrian enjoyed his best result in 2005 when he qualified his Red Bull in sixth and finished the race in seventh. Having competed at Albert Park several times, Klien believes he knows the 5.303-kilometre circuit very well. But the 25 year-old is also aware that the track’s unique characteristics and 16 turns present a real challenge in terms of set-up and driving style.
“Albert Park is basically a street circuit,” he explained. “They only have a race here once a year, and the rest of the time most of the roads are either being used by the public or else closed. As a result there is no grip at all. It is very slippery, particularly on Friday and Saturday, and this means that from Friday to Sunday the track conditions will change every day."
“As a driver you have to work closely with the team in order to adapt the car to the circuit as it changes. Also, the track is not just slippery in terms of the surface, but because of the large number of yellow and white lines used to mark out the public roads - you have to be very careful on the lines, particularly if the track is wet.”
“Another challenge is that, because the roads are used by the public, the track is very bumpy, so again the set-up has to take this into consideration. Overall it’s a medium speed track with only one high-speed corner, the chicane at Turns 11 and 12, and this leads into a good overtaking opportunity at the entry to Turn 13. It’s easy for drivers to make a mistake at the exit of Turn 12 and put the wheels over the kerb, and this gives the driver behind the chance to overtake.”
This weekend, Klien will be on hand in Melbourne to help BMW Sauber race drivers Nick Heidfeld and Robert Kubica find the perfect set-up ahead of Sunday’s Australian Grand Prix.
