	Berger's Future

	It was previously reported that BMW Motorsport Director Gerhard Berger was uncertain about his future with BMW. He has now has said that he will make a decision about his future before Christmas. Berger's contract with BMW finishes in August 2003. In an interview for Kicker magazine Berger said: "(I have to decide) whether I want more free time or whether I want to continue working hard in Formula One." Berger added: "The new season starts in March and August will come around in no time." Berger also spoke of BMW's link with WilliamsF1. He stated that BMW would be negotiating an extension to its agreement with WilliamsF1 beyond 2004 when the current agreement expires. As was previously reported BMW has three options, that of continuing as an engine supplier to WilliamsF1, building its own car, or withdrawing from Formula One. As for the possibility of BMW become a part owner of WilliamsF1 Berger said: "It's not on the list for discussion. BMW wants to be more involved in technical matters."
