| BMW Power going to Sauber |
Peter Sauber's F1 team will end a near decade long collaboration with engine supplier Ferrari at the end of the year. Sir Frank Williams, whose own outfit is powered by BMW, said the German carmaker 'have decided' to also supply Sauber, after vowing to offer a customer programme to a smaller team.
Frank said at a media lunch: "(BMW motor sport director) Mario (Theissen) ... said they have had two approaches -- one (from) Sauber and another."
Although Williams' so far six-year BMW arrangement will no longer be exclusive, it will continue, the team co-owner confirmed.
Ferrari, isolated in the GPWC-Ecclestone political row, may supply the 'Midland' entry in 2006.
