I cannot see any member commenting on the news this week that BMW are leaving F1 at the end of this season. :o :o

Is this the beginning of the end for quality F1 competition, or even the end of F1 complete? :-/ :-/

Some commentators were stating this could open the flood gates for other teams to leave.  What do those that care think? :D :D :D
BMW, like most car mass-market manufacturers, are not looking great financially, so cost savings are inevitable.

It is looking likely that Toyota in particular and maybe Renault may not take part next year.

I don't think BMW pulling out will make any difference to F1. Don't forget there are 3 new teams coming into F1 next year - Campos Grand Prix, Manor Grand Prix and Team US F1 which will more than make up the numbers. :y

They need to concentrate on road cars as they are currently outputing un-reliable over priced shite.....its time they got back to what they were doing 15 years ago which was much better.

8-9 months worth of sales stored there about 3 months ago.....so got to be 6 months worth still there!

All with the artificle 4 week waiting list of course (probably takes that long to find them!) and a free layer of Olympus soot!
