The BMW Team knows that Brazil will not have an easy life in the Belgian circuit of Zolder. The track that hosted the world of F-1 between the years 1973 to 1984, with some exceptions, has characteristics that are not very favorable to the model BMW Z4. Still, the green and yellow team hopes to maintain its positive rhythm, besides the good rapport between drivers, engineers and team leaders to try to get good results in other years. Remember that in the current season, the Brazilian has been cast on the podium four times, were three third places and a second position, all won by double the BMW Z4 # 0.
The São Paulo Sergio Jimenez acknowledges that the layout is very demanding. But expects the good mood of the team that contributes to achieve good results. "The expectation is going well. Let's get the podium that eluded us in Portugal. Going to be difficult because it is a difficult track for us again, for being good low speed, you need enough torque. Complicated I think of victory, but it is never impossible.'s team is well mingled and it makes us excited, "Jimenez considered that side of the Bueno, is fifth in the standings with 51 points.
Caca Bueno recalls the results of the team's debut season at this track in 2013, and agree with the fellow about the difficulties, but says the goal is to score well in the championship. "In fact, last year the stage of Zolder was not very positive for us. A track is unfavorable to our car, so we will work to score as many points as possible for the team in the championship," said Rio.
In the other car in the Brazilian team, the gaucho Matheus Stumpf emphasizes that the goal is to work out the details and the development of the car to try to get a place on the podium. "We know it will be a step in a complicated track, but if treating the tournament as a whole, it's just a difficult track for our car, and as always, we will strive and develop the car as much as possible, as we are still hopeful to this podium, now often close, come this next race, "said the driver of car # 30.
Piquet is excited to its last stage with BMW Team Brazil and hopes to help the team to get a good result in Belgium. "September was a strong month for me. I played five races at three championships and three continents. Now could take a few days to rest and go to Brasilia in Zolder with batteries recharged. Participation will be my last with BMW Team Brazil in 2014 and hope match the commitment of all the staff with a solid performance, "said brasiliense.
In step of Azerbaijan, which will be the last of the year, Caca and Jimenez will be replaced by Ricardo and Rodrigo Sperafico, due to the coincidence of dates with a Stock Car. Nelson will also desfalcar the team, because he will be in the Global RallyCross. And Matheus Stumpf will run with Miguel Paludo in the last step.
