They had a good shot at winning the championship last year if they hadn't have given up, and now one bad season and they're out.
Toyota have been rubbish for years, and they've stuck it out, BMW with all their racing pedigree can't even make it past a few seasons.

BMW have announced today they're leaving F1 at the end of the season - if you ask me I'm a little disappointed that they're giving up so easily.

Maybe they just struggling with the costs of such a expensive sport, that seems to be getting out of hand.
Just like football it will price itself out of the market in the end.

Wonder who will buy the remains of the team ?

But they are working towards bringing the costs down, they just didn't agree to the "let's dramatically cut costs in one season" that the FIA was up for.

I'm not sure but if I was to guess I'd say this was more to do with poor performance than money..........

I'm sure someone will take over the BMW team though, wouldn't be surprised if Peter Sauber took it back himself! :biggrin:

I think there's 2 confirmed new teams (USF1 and Manor) but there might be a few more if people start leaving.
