The 2004 season for the Sauber team seemed unremarkable, but Jacques Villeneuve crashed while trying to overtake his teammate Felipe Massa in the Monaco Grand Prix, which ended up leaving Massa. Sprinting off the track, Villeneuve's own car was also damaged and retired. This, in the words of Peter Sauber, "the most disappointing accident that the Sauber team has ever encountered" is even more impressive.
Sensing that the situation of private racing teams in the F1 world is becoming increasingly difficult, Peter Sauber knows the current situation and exits the car in a perfect way. At a time when rumors were rampant that BMW would supply engines to the Sauber team, or even buy the team, the factory announced in June 2005 that it would acquire the majority of the team's shares held by Peter Sauber (this was a special vote with voting rights). shares) and 63.25% of the shares held by Credit Suisse. Peter Sauber will still serve as the team's special advisor. Compared with its main competitor Mercedes-Benz, BMW not only has fewer entries than Mercedes-Benz, but its results on the track are even worse than its archrival in Stuttgart.
Another "5-year plan" for BMW is about to begin, and their primary goal in the first year should be "at least no worse than Williams"! After signing a three-year contract with BMW (starting in 2006), German driver Nick Heidfeld will return to the arms of his old club Sauber...
