It has been
announced that BMW will supply the Sauber Formula One team commencing 2006.
The Swiss team will use a customer version of the BMW engine, while the BMW
WilliamsF1 team will retain their works status.
Frank Williams explained BMW's decision. Williams said: "Mario was very open
about it. He said: 'we are going to supply engines. I am not pleased to say,
I am pleased to know it because it makes the manufacturers stronger.
"'Each manufacturer must supply two teams, and we have had two approaches –
one Sauber and one other. It is not up to me to say who the other one was.
And we have decided to go with Sauber'."
Williams added: "I have got no problem with that. Our deal carries on. We
are still the works team." |
