BMW-Sauber's technical director Willy Rampf says the team's new C29 is the latest evolution in the team's learning process.
After a disappointing 2009 season, the team unveiled the new C29 at Valencia on Sunday, which Rampf is hoping will prove that the BMW-Sauber has learnt their lesson from past mistakes.
"The development of the BMW Sauber C29 has seen the team build on the experience gained last year and the improvement in performance over the final third of the season," Rampf said.
"However, the new regulations banning refuelling during the race and stipulating a reduced width for the front tyres have required significant changes to the car's design."
