'It is fixed now' - BMW's Mario Theissen

Those are the words from Mario Theissen talking about the gearbox problems, that appeared in the Blick newspaper. These gearbox problems were mainly caused by an hydraulic seal that suffered huge unexpected pressures, as Rampf revealed some weeks ago. And the gearbox failure was the reason why Kubica had to retire when he was 4th in the Australian GP.

Fortunately this problems have not reappeared in testing or races, and will not happen again if what Mario Theissen says is right.

Thats very good news indeed for BMW-Sauber, as reliability was the main concern for the team before the season started and after Australia's race. So BMW will be able to concetrate in improving its pace, and try to challenge the front runners Ferrari and Mclaren.
