As of 18 November 2009, German automobile manufacturer BMW is still the official owner of BMW Sauber Formula One team and continues to pay the salaries of their approximately 400 employees.<ref>[http://www.20min.ch/sport/formel1/story/14413427 20 Minuten], 2009-11-18</ref> On 27 November, BMW announced that it was to sell the team to Peter Sauber instead of Qadbak. A spokesman for BMW was reported in the Guardian newspaper as saying that the combination of no legally effective contract and no starting place on the grid caused the deal with Qadbak to be cancelled. If the Qadbak deal had been put in place, former [[Sauber]] drivers [[Giancarlo Fisichella]] and [[Nick Heidfeld]] would have been driving for them.
