Firstly they're looking like they'll be keeping the BMW Sauber name rather than simply Sauber. Could we take this as they'll continue to use the BMW engine?

Also, De La Rosa has been reported as a candidate for the other seat in the team (apologies for the dodgy translation)

BMW will not be supplying any engines next year. Sauber are using Ferrari lumps.

The name is only still the same as he is busy trying to sort out everything else ready for the season start.

Can't see the point in Pedro de la Rosa coming back, surely Heidfeld would be a better bet? I know he's be test driving for years but 39 is getting on a bit, no?

Absolutely. Whatever next - a 41 year old German making a comeback!

"everything else" being a title sponsor, you'd think.

If he had a title sponsor already, the team name would be decided on and changed by now.

I think they have to keep the previous name, or part of it, in order not to be classed as a new team and therefore have to pay transport fees. Mind you, the other new teams will not be paying them for this season, courtesy of Mosley in his attempt to break the breakaway.

What the..? Quick Nick and Koybi would make an ideal driver line up!
