BMW to decide lineup - Sauber

01 July 2005

New owner BMW will determine Sauber's 2006 line-up, current boss Peter Sauber revealed. The Swiss thus deflected speculation about under performing Canadian driver Jacques Villeneuve's 2006 deal. "Up until the upcoming autumn," Sauber said, "BMW will have to decide what to do."

Felipe Massa's deal runs out at the end of the year. Sauber continued: "I find it logical that BMW wants to take care of driver contracts."

Meanwhile, Sauber sponsor Petronas revealed that it is 'in discussions' with the Munich carmaker about continuing the F1 association. "But it's still very early days," the state owned Malaysian company's chief executive, Hassan Marican, said.
