We are going through a difficult time, says Sauber Team Principal

Sauber Team Principal Monisha Kaltenborn admitted that the team is going through a difficult time.

“We have very openly said we are going through a difficult time but we are confident we will be out of it soon,” Kaltenborn said. There were also reports of Sauber not being able to pay its German driver Nico Hulkenberg.

“That’s it, there is nothing more to say. Clearly when you have limited resources you cannot develop as much as you want to and that’s it” she added.

Under the 2014 regulations, the low budget teams are reportedly finding it hard to develop engines and Kaltenborn expressed concern that it may have a big impact on these teams.

“We all endorsed these changes and what we should really do is not wait until it is too late for some teams,” she said.

She also cautioned that immediate efforts are needed to help the struggling teams.

“In many situations we always wait for something to happen and then react, but in this case there are so many teams struggling that I think we should really do something about it before anything happens. We shouldn’t always wait for the big bang” Kaltenborn added.
