Next year there will be two camps, BMW Works(old Sauber Team+BMW) and Williams-Cosworth. It will be a tough year for BMW

Right, I read about BMW's acquisition of Sauber but didn't think they would create a team this quickly.
Williams-Cosworth...does this mean that the British company is eliminating BMW and using a Cosworth engine or is BMW still involved in the Williams team?

BMW has ended their relationship with Williams. There was a lot of bad blood between them in June before the announcement. Both sides bad mouthing each other.
