Why Did Bmw Leave F1

Will BMW ever return to F1?

BMW has no plans to return to Formula 1 as such a move does not tally with its long-term strategy. The German manufacturer last raced in F1 from 2000 until the end of 2009, when it pulled out against the backdrop of the worldwide financial crisis.

Why is there no Porsche in F1?

At the end of the season, Porsche withdrew from F1 due to the high costs, just having acquired the Reutter factory. Volkswagen and German branches of suppliers had no interest in an F1 commitment as this series was too far away from road cars. Privateers continued to enter the outdated Porsche 718 in F1 until 1964.
