BMW Sauber have dropped a hint that they may be changing the name and logo of their Formula 1 team, to Sauber Motorsport. It makes sense, too, given that BMW are no longer associated with the team.
The above, new logo was displayed on a press release previewing the Bahrain Grand Prix on the BMW Sauber media site.
However changing their name could cause its own issues – to change a F1 team name after already registering another, is difficult and could result with the loss of the team’s claim to TV revenue earned in the 2009 season. Another theory is that Peter Sauber may be waiting for a title sponsor before filling in the name-change form.

I know BMW Sauber Ferrari was odd and annoyed a lot of people but I didn’t mind it much. Sauber Motorsport is brilliant though as it really is Sauber.
