philipbain, I understand your post, but I don't really think BMW had a chance to win either championship in 2008. Kubica managed to lead it mostly due to LH and KR's mistakes, but it doesn't mean that the BMW was THAT good. They only won the Canadian GP and that was only thanks to Hamilton going banzai on Räikkönen while Kovalainen and Massa had very poor races. I would understand their decision if they wanted to focus on having a championship-winning car in 2009, although seeing what a dog they had the next year, I wonder whether they started putting resources into its 2009 car or just stopped funding their F1 effort altogether.
