BMW on the move?

Will the BMW team leave the world of Formula 1 ? Nothing has yet been confirmed but the leaders of the Bavarian manufacturer summoned the press this Wednesday for an important conference in Munich. The subject of this meeting is entitled ?current development of motorsport? and will bring together the leaders of the company at the propeller.

Thus, Doctor Norbert Reithofer, Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW, Doctor Klaus Draeger, Director of Development and Mario Theissen, Director of BMW Motorsport will be present. The presence of these three leading figures confirms the importance of the announcement that must be made.

After Honda at the end of last season, another manufacturer could leave the paddocks. Disappointing results as well as a difficult financial situation could be the main causes of this withdrawal. While openly aiming for the title at the start of the season, the team only experienced disappointments throughout the Grand Prix. Thus, this weekend in Hungary, the F1 09s once again demonstrated their lack of performance by finishing in 11th and 13th place respectively in the Sunday race.
