Looks like we're finally shot of the BMW Sauber name, what a horrible, horrible name that was. Glad to see Renault and Team Lotus in there, although I worry that might change...

Yawn... let it go for petes sake, teams come and go and names change even when the team dosen't. BMW's time in F1 was OK, not stellar but not disastereous by a long way...

Had the Parent BMW Group not shifted it's core goal to more eco-freindly image BMW, I have no doubt would have been stronger than their final year showed.

As for Sauber, BMW had no say in keeping the name that was the FIA, I sure BMW would have prefered to see the name dropped once they departed just as much as Sauber wanted it.

Anyway... back on topic, Is the published list meant also to be the car number each driver will race, The FIA I am guessing only go by what the teams submit. The list also has Jenson #3 and Lewis #4.
