Looks like BMW will buy the team rather tha supply Sauber with engine.

Yes the announcement will be made in the press conference

BMW announced a short time ago they have bought Sauber and will enter the 2006 F1 Championship as engine as chassis supplier.

This agreement commences from January 2006

Peter Sauber will step down from his managerial role and remain as an advisor

Maybe Julian but I was just reporting the main points from the press conference!

Would like to see the Williams statement when it is available too. I wonder who is shopping for a motor these days?

According to BMW, discussions will take place with Williams next week on the supply of engines to Williams next year.

No, you're just seeing red because Webber may be out of a job at Williams

It looks like Webber is going to be out of a job next year and it won't be because Sir Frank can't find the horsepower for him. I could and probably will, be wrong, but I think Nick will have more points at years' end than the tall Australian bloke. Maybe they'll take him back at Red Bull?
