Staying Focused

BMW chief Mario Thessien is happy with the progress of the BMW team and says bigger is not always better:
Theissen happily admits that the German manufacturer is "ahead of schedule" in its F1 project, but hinted that some of the success is down to his desire to keep BMW simple. My personal conviction is that resources are to a certain extent necessary but will never guarantee success," he said. "I see a big chance to get distracted if you have too many opportunities. So that is why we don't want to have the biggest team, why we don't want to have two wind tunnels or even three." Theissen explained: "Focus is more important than sheer size."
Whatever Mario and BMW are doing they should keep it up because it's working.
