'Paris - Motorsport's ruling body, the FIA, reacted with disappointment
Wednesday to the news that German carmaker BMW is pulling out of the sport at
the end of the 2009 season, blaming the global recession for the decision.

FIA失望地對BMW退出F1做出了回應，指出一切咎於全球金融海嘯。

'It has been clear for some time that motor sport cannot ignore the world
economic crisis. Car manufacturers cannot be expected to continue to pour
large sums of money into Formula One when their survival depends on
redundancies, plant closures and the support of the taxpayer,' said the
organization in a statement.

非常清楚地，賽車運動不能忽視全球金融危機。車廠們投資龐大的金錢，導致
背負著沉重的壓力。

BMW chairman Norbert Reithofer announced the news of the company's withdrawal
from the sport earlier Wednesday at a press conference at the carmaker's
headquarters in Munich.

BMW老闆稍早在慕尼黑總部宣布將退出F1。

'The board decided yesterday that we would change our involvement in
motorsport. The BMW group will end its involvement with Formula One at the
end of the 2009 season,' said Reithofer in the company of BMW-Sauber team
principal Mario Theissen.

Mario Theissen:「我們決定09年賽季完，退出F1」

'Obviously, this decision was a difficult one for us.'

Mario Theissen:「當然，這是一個艱難的決定。」

According to the Bild Zeitung newspaper, Japanese carmaker Toyota is also
considering pulling out of the sport while Honda withdrew at the end of last
year.

據報導，Toyata也正在考慮退出F1。

FIA has argued that it is addressing the problems and pointed to the new
cost-cutting measures introduced this season as well as the Concorde
Agreement set to be signed later this week.

FIA強調，為了解決這些問題，新的削減成本措施將在本賽季推出，以及共同
協定將在本週晚些時候簽署。

'These measures were needed to alleviate the pressure on manufacturers
following Honda's withdrawal but also to make it possible for new teams to
enter,' it said.

上述的措施，可以減輕車廠的經濟壓力，並且能使更多新車隊加入。

'Had these regulations not been so strongly opposed by a number of team
principals, the withdrawal of BMW and further such announcements in the
future might have been avoided.'

如果這些措施沒有受到某些車隊強烈反對，或許可以避免未來BMW退出的事重演。









BMW應該算是金融海嘯裡，少數還能賺錢的車廠吧......
