BMW might pull out of F1 :eek: |
It was made official this morning after a press conference in Munich.
It's a shame for sure. I had high hopes for them this year, but they just didn't get the car right, and without in season testing, playing catch-up is nearly impossible.
I hope they migrate back into a factory sportscar effort, maybe even with a diesel since that has more opportunity for technology to trickle-down into the road cars. |

I'm so conflicted today on the one hand I'm terribly disappointed that BMW is pulling out of F1 on the other hand the thought of Schumi coming back for 7 races has me extremely excited.
Guess we'll see how long it takes him to knock the rust off especially with the in season testing ban... |

| I like the idea of Schu coming back. I think it will shake things up nicely and force everyone to step up their game. Even if he's rusty, he's still bloody fast. |

Mclaren did it, Ferrari as well. Goes to show how quickly they can develop compared to BMW:whip: |

^True! I did say "nearly"though :p
Should be an interesting race to the championship though. Schu will def. act as a spoiler, but who's party he spoils...who knows. |

I thought it was painfully fitting that Badoer's name on the timing readout just said "BAD".
I had hopes that he would put in a Pedro de la Rosa or Mika Salo style substitute drive, but he was 1.5s off of Alguesiari!
Maybe we'll see Schumi next week at Spa?
Good quali for Kubica though |

I liked P2 when it said HAM BAD
Good race, I'm glad Rubens finally won. Mclaren were napping in that pit stop. How the did Webbo lose 2 places in that pit stop ? I won't complain though as it got Kubica a point. |

this.
the us broadcast didn't really touch on it at all - but that's not surprising. |
