BMW Exit

After all the hot air between Max and FOTA one assumed that all the manufacturers would hand around till 2012. Well not so. I wonder when Renault will pull the pin.

Maybe BMW might let Kubica go to Ferrari???

Well Brawn has showed what can be done.

I'm sure Max will be grinning like a cheshire cat...

  • He's always right.
  • Stoddy & Sauber?????
  • Peter sauber still owns a 20% stake in the team. I see BMW transfering the team to him with a suitable dowry. The assumption being that he keeps it running for at least 3 years to avoid any breaches in EU employment law.
  • I wonder if Petronas will buy out BMW?
  • now that's an interesting thought!
  • Apparantly Peter Sauber and Mario Thiessen are working together to try and "Do a Brawn" and save the team via management buyout.
  • I recently read that Nelson Piquet wants to buy the team (except the 20% from Peter Sauber). But that was not stated yet. Would be an option, also because his son will not drive for Renault any longer.

    It would be a shame to loose Sauber on the grid.
  • The FIA have re-opened the applications for new teams.

    Only Epsilon Euskadi have declared their interest so far. I think Lola may also be interested not sure about anyone else though.
  • well, don't forget about Superfund. They said they would make an own series if they cannot take part in F1 next year, so money does not to seem the problem.
  • I just read that they definetly will not take part next Season.

    David Richards (once again) says that-if the new concorde agreemnet supports him- would like to take part and they could have a car ready in october(!).

    Hopefully FIA remembers what happened, when he tried to enter F1 in 2008.

    I think Epsilon-Euskadi is the team who will get the place.
  • i would say Suber, in whatever name are still favourites as they are an established team, not a startup.
  • I know its just a fake-team in rfactor, but there is a team called "Minardi Petronas F4 Team" in a Mod for this game. I kinda like this idea.......Minardi Petronas F1 Team would be a nice option.
