 | | BMW first entered Formula One with Brabham in 1982 during the turbo era, and subsequently supplied engines to Arrows, ATS and Benetton, powering Nelson Piquet to the World Championship in 1983. |
 | | In the pitlane it was rumoured that BMW Motorsport director, Mario Theissen, was now attempting to sell the F1 dream to the board of directors, though pitlane cynics believe much of his motivation was due to the fact that the German wanted to be a 'team principal'. |
 | | When the statesmanlike Frank Williams publicly criticized BMW, it was obvious that the marriage was at an end, and while some speculated that the German might seek an alternative partner, others remained convinced that Theissen had successfully sold his employers on the dream, and possible glory, of establishing a successful F1 team. |
