Suber will not hold Hulkenberg

formula 1
Nico Hulkenberg is expected to leave at the end of the season due to financial problems that may threaten the Sauber team. The German came to the Sauber team from Force India, as he wanted to compete for higher places, perhaps the ones on the stage for the winners. Nevertheless, things did not go according to plan, which made him a little dissatisfied, and any financial problems only reinforced his possible departure. Sauber team boss Monisha Kaltenborn insists that Nice will not be held back if he wants to leave the team: “Of course Nico is very important to us, but if he wants to leave, he will have a free path. He does a fantastic job himself, but we confirm our racers from season to season. ”Sauber has the most problems precisely because of the new engine rules, which will require larger investments, which is why Rusa Bor is also connected to the team.

formula 1
The key to a racing seat for Esteban Gutierrez was sponsors and their money, but Sauber team boss Monisha Kaltenborn also believes in racing skills themselves: “For us, nothing is important but just racing ability, how fast a racer is. We do not look at nationality at all, but it is still necessary to look at quite a few things. Today, teams also have to invest a lot in the commercial factor, where the racer himself is very present. In our country, it is not the racer's money that is most important, despite the fact that we have always expected it, but also the talent itself. " Sergio started with us, learned and grew into a good racer. It will be the same with Gutierrez, out

This is the third time that the German in Melbourne has failed to drive a single lap in the race. “I’m outraged by what happened, but at the same time I’m not blaming anyone,” Nico said. "In racing, these things just happen. What bothers me the most is that I ran out of mileage behind the wheel, which is even more important at the start of the season. Running in the race would get very valuable data for the next races. Melbourne is obvious to me. cursed.That was it

Perez sometimes had to keep an eye on Alonso

formula 1
  Sergio Perez has revealed that last season, when he played for the Sauber team, Ferrari repeatedly asked him to "take care of Alonso". The Mexican's statement only confirms many speculations that the Italian team is also using political connections to help improve its chances of success on the track. Perez was once a member of Ferrari’s program for young racers, and at Sauber he raced Ferrari engines. This year, he accepted an offer to replace Lewis Hamilton at McLaren, thus getting rid of all possible obligations to the Maranello team. A journalist from Spain, Marca, asked him if it was any different when he now saw Sebastian Vettl or Fernando Alonso in the rearview mirror. "Not in my case," Perez replied. "For me, there is no difference between them. Last year, when I was still k
