Leclerc is infinitely better than Matsushita.

Well the honda engine is beginning to actually look better, so perhaps the honda option might have been better, but to be honest sauber are looking a perminate training team there only to keep the numbers up

Can someone explain to me *exactly* what the relationship between Marcus Ericsson and Longbow Finance is? Does Ericsson have a guaranteed seat (since his chances of promotion seem limited)? Surely has implications for Sauber becoming a Ferrari junior team if one of their seats has to be occupied by a journeyman.

Ericsson has got talent, but the problem, is he's seldom shown it in the past two seasons

The question is ... is Longbow here for the long haul or they want a quick sell?

Dad Stroll believes his son isn't good enough to have a F1 careur on it's own?

You could argue that's the way of modern motorsports. There are plenty of drivers who are good enough for an F1 career who don't have a seat right now because there are pay drivers. I don't think it's fair to single Stroll out like that - this would simply be another way of buying a drive.

And the problem is there are only 20 seats in F1, so even more drivers are missing out on the chance they deserve. Hopefully more teams in the future can be added

At least in the early 90's more up and coming drivers got a chance to drive F1 even if 2/3 of the field were buckets of bolts cobbled together!

Sauber Alfa-Romeo........sounds very credible to me.....easy money and I dare say an injection of technical resources will do Sauber no harm.......just re-badge the existing Ferrari engine.
But lets home it doesnt rust to pieces before the race starts......sorry, couldnt resist that one! |

I sure hope not. It would just give Ferrari even more leverage for their whining.

It's been confirmed Alfa-Romeo will be partnering Sauber next year.

Ferrari are now in a position where they have lost Santander backing, and supply a team who will be backed by one of their remaining sponsors. The pressure is on them to deliver, because otherwise FIAT Chrysler could take their backing elsewhere and take a punt on a different engine supplier for the next set of regs (or even build their own)? |

It's all about Fiat, you do know Ferrari and Alfa Romeo are both owned by Fiat, right? (don't mean it in a patronizing manner, btw)
This is all so Marchionne can swing his member around in a more arrogant fashion than before. |
