BMW is willing to supply a customer team with engines in 2010, formula one team boss Mario Theissen has revealed.

"We have the capacity to make our engines available to other teams," the German told the Sport Bild magazine.

The German publication suggests Theissen's offer is a message to Red Bull, the currently Renault-powered team that is considering switching to Mercedes engines next year.

Sport Bild believes a Red Bull-BMW linkup would be a perfect bid to eventually woo Sebastian Vettel back to the Hinwil based team in the future.

RBR team boss Christian Horner said he is not in a rush to make a decision. "Regarding our engine choice, we can wait even until the winter time," he insisted.
