I have just red that BMW wants to end their partnership with Williams. BMW have implied that they are not satisfied, because Williams have failed to come up with a chassis worthy of the strong BMW engine. When their contract with Williams runs out at exit of 2004 they will not extend it any further, due to BMW’s statement. Instead they will either buy the Williams team or make an entire new BMW team where they produce both engine and chassis as well.
If it happens, we will all miss Frank Williams and his team. I hope he finds a new company to produce his engines!
