Sauber waits patiently

Sauber devrait récupérer sa place sur la grille de départ 2010, suite à la décision de Toyota to withdraw from the Formula 1. The Japanese manufacturer's team should not be bought, nor be present in 2010, but the official position of Toyota F1 Team, from whom the FIA ​​had requested a " urgent clarification » of its positioning, is slow to make itself known.

The stable ofHinwil, from which BMW has disengaged and which is now linked to the Qadbak investment fund, is therefore waiting for this situation to resolve. Before the Toyota episode, it only occupied a "reserve" place as the fourteenth team, while the FIA ​​only authorized thirteen teams and twenty-six cars to take part in the 2010 championship. With the withdrawal of Toyota and the dismantling of its team, the Swiss team should inherit the thirteenth folding seat.

Peter Sauber, in the Swiss newspaper Blick, explained: wait patiently » the FIA ​​decision. The founder of the Hinwil team had previously declared that he found himself in a difficult situation, the non-officialization of Sauber-Qadbak's participation in the next Formula 1 world championship preventing him from contacting drivers and finding sponsors. .
