Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted July 29, 2009 Not too surprising I guess. The German car manufacturer, who took over Sauber in 2005, have cited "current developments in motor sport" as the reason for their pull-out. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport...one/8173865.stm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apex 693 Report post Posted July 29, 2009 They should have stayed with Williams, Williams is still competitive and with better drivers they would be on the podium. They should just quit now, throw a hissy fit and admit that BMW just can’t build a fast enough car. Force India are faster FFS! Next year is an all new Formula again isn’t it, can see why some teams are becoming very frustrated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted July 29, 2009 I agree Graham, but I guess they have a contract to fulfill which would be very expensive to get out of. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E30 325i Rag-Top 2957 Report post Posted July 29, 2009 The German car manufacturer, who took over Sauber in 2005, have cited "current developments in motor sport" as the reason for their pull-out.I have heard that they are going to divert their F1 budget into supporting the E30 Series around the world as it is better marketing for the brand, and generates more parts sales!
