WILLIAMS WARNING ON BMW

It is rumoured that the undoubted link between Munich and Peter Sauber's Hinwil team may extend as far as a buyout and BMW-Williams split.

But Grove's technical director Sam Michael called the six-year collaboration 'strong.'

"Both (Williams and BMW) want to win," the 31-year-old Australian remarked, "and both agree on how they want to go about their winning."

Michael said: "We fully expect to continue with BMW." -GMM
