Berger Planning Own F1 Team

Gerhard Berger has revealed he is considering setting up his own grand prix team when the new low-cost Formula 1 regulations take effect in 2008.

The Austrian, a veteran of 10 GP victories, has plenty of experience both as a driver and entrant having also overseen BMW's return to the sport in 2000.

"Of course there is nothing coming up immediately," Berger told this week's Autosport magazine.

"In the current situation, only car manufacturers or companies like Red Bull can afford F1. But if the costs are brought down, it would be worth thinking about it.

"But this can only happen for 2008."

Speculation has surrounded Berger's return to the sport since he quit his post as BMW's motorsport director in the spring of 2004.

Most recently he had been linked to Red Bull's junior team Scuderia Toro Rosso through his connections with drinks magnate Dietrich Mateschitz.

F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone admitted that Berger is one of a bunch of teams entering after 2007.

"There is Roger Penske, there is David Richards and there is Gerhard Berger," he said.
