BMW

Intel BMW Sauber Orlen, shortened as BMW Sauber, is the racing division of German car manufacturer BMW. It has competed in Formula One since 2005 after it successfully bought out the Williams F1 Team, of which it had been an engine supplier for 5 seasons. The team has seen considerable success as of late, claiming a World Drivers title with Sebastian Vettel in 2007.

Sauber Motorsport AG purchased a 50% stake in the team in December 2007, appointing Cyril Abiteboul as co-owner and co-team principal. In June 2009, the original founder announced he would be leaving the team in order to set up his own GP2 Series team for 2010.
