Merge
How about merging this with BMW Sauber? Peter S. 20:28, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

"BMW Sauber", "Sauber" or "BMW"?
This team has been treated as a new team in this article. And I agree it. However, there is contradicted information, and I'm confused a little.


 * Case to include participation as Sauber
 * FIA
 * Official Formula 1 website(formula1.com)


 * Case to include participation as former BMW-F1(1950's)'s 2 races
 * BMW F1 @ f1-data.com (English) (mod Morio 23:55, 17 March 2006 (UTC))


 * BMW Sauber is completely new team in the record
 * This article

Which is correct?--Morio 17:14, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

In view of the move back to 'Sauber' ownership, It would be much more clear to move the body of this article within 'Sauber' - there is clear continuity of the team. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.245.198.135 (talk) 12:56, 26 February 2010 (UTC)


 * No, I think this year's season should be covered in article Sauber and BMW Sauber be an article for the years the team was a BMW works team. The only reason for keeping 'BMW' in the name for 2010 is a technicality. John Anderson   (talk) 14:35, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

On the Sauber web site it states as BMW Sauber C29 chassis -. The stats should count towards the BMW Sauber team, as for 2011 the chassis will be Sauber and therefore the stats will continue for Sauber. The official name chassis is BMW Sauber for the moment Andreasu

Disambiguation
I noticed that several users have edited the Sauber article whilst seeming to assume that it includes the 2006 BMW Sauber team. I have therefore put a disambiguation template in the Sauber article.--Diniz 13:22, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Incorrect redirection
The Sauber talk page redirects here. Does anyone know how to correct this? --4u1e 06:57, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Robert Kubica
Robert Kubica didn't replace Jacques Villenueve until the Hungarian Grand Prix. He was then confirmed for the remainder of the season

BMW Motorsport
BMW Motorsport currently redirects to BMW Sauber, which I feel is a mistake. BMW Motorsport has many years of motorsports activity outside of Formula 1, including it's various sportscar and touring car efforts. I think that BMW Motorsport deserves its own seperate article since almost none of its history is actually discussed in BMW Sauber. The359 03:21, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Page history on the redirect says BMW Motorsport was previously a redirect to BMW M. I think the motorsports activities and history can told be there. --Pc13 08:31, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Shouldn't BMW Motorsport still direct there though, since BMW M is merely another name for BMW Motorsport? The359 00:27, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

B-Class
Assessed as B-class as it appears to cover most of the relevant elements. Structure is OK, writing needs work for grammar, NPOV and clarity, refs are almost non-existent. 4u1e 18:40, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Having had a look at some of the other current teams, although it meets the B criteria as listed, there seems to me to be a clear difference between this article and, say, Scuderia Ferrari or WilliamsF1. Downgraded to 'start' in comparison.4u1e 18:55, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Information Table
According to the panel on the top-right of the page, BMW have competed in 1 race and won 8 Championships!--80.4.6.146 (talk) 18:30, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Megatron Retained the rights?
I don't think megatron would support being associated with BMW. He's more a Mclaren kind of guy —Preceding unsigned comment added by Craigjs (talk • contribs) 02:45, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I've fixed the link. Thanks. DH85868993 (talk) 14:41, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

#REDIRECT
This should #REDIRECT to BMW for it is nothing with Sauber now. BMW leave 2009 and 2010 was only for it may not change name in middle of year. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ingen Alls (talk • contribs) 15:58, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Both BMW in Formula One and Sauber contain about the same amount of coverage of the 2006-2009 period (in fact, I think much of the text is identical), so it's debatable which is the better target for the redirect. DH85868993 (talk) 03:08, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
