BMW Sauber's Formula One racing team is looking forward to this weekend's Grand Prix in Bahrain as an opportunity to keep its momentum going following a flying start to the season.

Team boss Mario Theissen says that following two second place finishes at the Australian and Malaysian Grand Prix, the team and drivers have to work to keep up their form.

He said: "Our bottom line after the first batch of overseas races looks pretty good: we're very happy with our two second places in Melbourne and Sepang, our first fastest race lap in Malaysia and 19 points in the championship."

Both Nick Heidfeld and Robert Kubica have found their way onto the podium with favourites Ferrari and McLaren.

Kubica said that he was hoping that he could repeat his performance of last year at Bahrain, where he scored his first points of the season, though he expressed his concern over wind.

He said: "The wind could play a major role here, but I hope it isn't too strong because our car reacts quite sensitively."
