Sauber Motorsport AG (racing in the 2010 season as BMW Sauber F1 Team) is a Swiss Formula One team. It was founded in the 1970s by Peter Sauber, who progressed through hillclimbing  and the World Sportscar Championship to reach Formula One in 1993.

Having not won a Grand Prix as an independent, the team was sold to BMW in 2005, and competed as BMW Sauber from 2006 to 2009, scoring one victory. At the end of the 2009 season, however, BMW pulled out of Formula One and the team's future remained uncertain for several months, until it was sold back to Peter Sauber and granted a 2010 entry. However, due to issues with the Concorde Agreement, the team name will remain BMW Sauber for the 2010 season. However, in mid-March 2010, Peter Sauber announced plans to change the team name during the season, although no firm date has been set.
