Qadbak oder wer auch immer dahinter steckt, könnte so gerechnet haben: Mit der Startplatzgarantie fließen die Altlasten von Bernie Ecclestone gegenüber BMW (42 Millionen Dollar) und die üblichen Auszahlungen (rund 35 Millionen Dollar für Platz sechs). Skeptiker wittern natürlich sofort Betrug, doch das ist nicht zwingend notwendig. Was die Frage aufwirft, welche Strategie hinter einem solchen Gebaren steckt. Let's see if we can discuss the developments here.ĭem Vorschlag der FIA, das Geld auf ein Sperrkonto einzuzahlen, ist Qadbak bislang ebenfalls nicht nachgekommen. Meanwhile, Nick Heidfeld has stayed true to the team, believing that Himwil has, or can produce a winning car for next year. It states that the FIA will make a decision on Sauber within the next two weeks Article in German and again mostly speculation but from a fairly reliable site. Recently, Peter Sauber seems to have found a significant investor in America.

Frank Williams has refused to grant admission to a 14th team under any circumstances. FOTA has said that they will make necessary accomadations to allow the team to enter, only provided respected Peter Sauber is involved. As the Qadbak purchase grows in confusion, there is still no deposit paid. Renault wants to see what such a fine would be before they decide to possibly follow suit. Seems the FIA first wants to hear Toyota's intentions and then decide on the appropriate fine to levy on them for breaking the CA agreement. Toyota's departure was not an automatic slot on the grid. BMW's grid position is given to another team. Munich then decides to sell the team to Qadbak Investments, fronted by a known con artist. BMW turned him down on the basis that the funds were not enough. He made an offer to BMW to purchase the team with the help of several Swiss investors. Peter Sauber is still 20% owner of the BMW team.

BMW did not sign the new Concord Agreement, which should have been our first clue that all was not well with the team. The uncertain situation surrounding the current BMW Sauber team requires some speculation and resolution.
