Mr Webber would have secured a 3rd/4th in Malaysia had he not become a canoeist... so the proximity to the podium isnt the issue.
It is no wonder though that BMW is looking to spread its wings!

The issue was not the car going OFF the boil - the reverse in fact - Williams had to turn the engines right down because they were off the end of their cooling capacity. Fair enough, that's a car issue, and a direct consequence of having the smallest sidepods in the field - but all teams have to compromise their performance over two races... maybe McLaren will pay the price in Imola. I'm still quite pleased with the car's speed, and very much pleased with the drivers, who are both ding a superb job.
