BMW Sauber
It has been confirmed by the FIA today that the Sauber Team will be on the grid for the start of the 2010 season, taking the thirteenth slot in place of Toyota.
After BMW’s late decision to sell the team back to the founder Peter Sauber in the Summer, it was all depending on whether the team would be have their application accepted. As problems arose with the teams original deal with Qadbak, time was running-out until the announcement that the Toyota team would be quitting at the end of the 2009 season.
A statement from the FIA read;
“The FIA has written to inform BMW Sauber AG that their application for an entry in the 2010 FIA Formula One World Championship has been successful.
Subject to their signing the Concorde Agreement, BMW Sauber will be awarded the 13th entry in the Championship, taking the place of the departing Toyota team.
The FIA has worked closely with the Commercial Rights Holder and the teams involved over recent weeks and is grateful for their support in achieving the best outcome for the sport.”
