Mar.15 (GMM) Toyota team manager Richard Cregan was not surprised when BMW Sauber leapt into the front running action during qualifying at Albert Park.
The German team had not featured in any of the pre-qualifying practising at the 2008 season opener, amid rumours that BMW chiefs had also sandbagged and concealed their true single lap pace in winter testing."Well, we knew they would be up there, because we think they focused on the long run testing," Cregan said in the Melbourne paddock.He thinks Robert Kubica, second on the grid compared with teammate Nick Heidfeld's fifth, would even have beaten Lewis Hamilton to pole if not for an off-track moment in the high speed chicane."I think he was heading for (pole) and he lost it there," Cregan agreed.
