Great news, if they can get on to the grid. Gonna be a big grid!

It is good news, Sauber is a good F1 name form the days when i started watching and hes one of my liked team principals.

Good on him getting his team back, even if hes running ferrari engines next year... (well as the old dead apparently was going to do)

Suprised that he wants back in as a team owner tbh, but good on him

very good news.

BMW should have stuck to just making engines, just like mercedes... errrr

Such a shame that they don't have an entry for 2010.

They dont not have an entry. Aparently the FIA have dragged their heels about confirming they have got Toyotas spot. Presumably because of the buyout deal not coming good.

Good news, it would have been a real shame to see the BMW team disbanded.

*looks at entry list - not on there*

They don't have an entry for 2010.

If the plans that Toyota have don't come off, then they could have an entry. If Toyota's lease and IP rights plan does come off, whoever that is has preferential entry over Sauber.
