I am listening to the BMW press conference at the moment, at 3am they finalised a deal for BMW to take over Sauber.
They have bought all Credit Swiss shares, so Peter Sauber stays as a minority shareholder

BMW have announced that they are taking over the Sauber team; from 2006 the team will be known as BMW.
They have offered Williams a deal to continue using BMW engines for 2006 (no mention of 2007) , so I can see Williams switching engines

BMW are taking control of the Swiss team in 2006, the name of the team is yet to be announced.

So another independent team goes, and BMW will have a bigger say in Formula One.

It’s defiantly not what the FIA want, but it is what the GPWC want.

Are you a Sauber fan? What do you think?
Are you a Williams fan? Does that mean the BMW deal is over?
