BMW will run its own team in the Formula One world championship from next season, having acquired a majority shareholding in the Sauber team, the German company revealed today [Wednesday].

The decision was taken at a BMW board meeting on Tuesday and means that, for the first time in company history, the Munich marque will be competing independently in the top flight.

Sweet...Sauber was a motorsports super-power when they were the Factory Mercedes Benz team in the early 90's, I hope Bimmer stomps out Williams and the other teams ASAP....

I also think they have the most underrated driver in F1 with Felipe Massa, the guy has been finishing consistently all season ahead of upper tier teams, Hopefully they are smart enough to hold on to him...
