Nasr: “Sauber will have to demonstrate that they know how to recover”

The name is not yet known but apparently an important investor would have shown up at the doors of the Hinwil factory to save Sauber struggling with debts and declining credibility.

But precisely on this point, despite the reassurances expressed by the boss Monisha Kaltenborn, with the thought of 2017, the pilot Felipe Nasr would have revealed a certain skepticism.

“I will have to have confirmations and see firsthand the signs of recovery before giving the okay to the team” – the 1-year-old supported by Banco do Brasil said contemptuously to F23i.con.

“Between 2015 and this year I have demonstrated that I have full trust and understanding regarding the group's difficulties. I know well that once the economic problems have been overcome we will be able to be competitive again” – she underlined.

“For my part, I think I've already shown what I'm capable of. For example at Silverstone I set a fastest lap in the race and fought with the Williams. In Austria I came close to the top ten and in Baku I fought with a McLaren..." – the Brasilia driver's clarification with the clear intention of whetting the appetite of the more stable competition in terms of money.
