The following statement is direct from BMW Motorsport:
"Since the announcement on 29 July of our strategic realignment, we have done
everything in our power to reach a rapid agreement on the sale of the team based
at Hinwil.
Regrettably, despite every effort, this has proved unsuccessful. The tight
timeframe we faced simply did not allow us and the interested parties and
investors enough time to find a solution for such a complex transaction.
This means the team cannot sign the Concorde Agreement at present.
The aim now is, over the coming weeks, to find a solution together with
potential interested parties and Peter Sauber. Beyond that, we will see the 2009
season through to its conclusion with our unstinting sporting commitment."
