Colin Kolles back??

Kolles and Honda. 2018 Looking good for Sauber. Not.

If it's true that Monisha left because she refused to favour Ericsson, it's very foolish on the owners' part. Ericsson is clearly their weaker driver. As F1Guy says, 2018 is not looking good for Sauber, especially if Kolles comes in, with his track record of managing successful racing teams [/sarcasm].

I have to say that I'm not a big fan of the Kaltenborn but I honestly couldn't give you a clear reason why not - just a general vibe I guess.

Kolles however would likely be a step down. There is an opportunity here for Sauber's owners to bring in a real racer and hopefully sharpen the team up, focus on the racing performance and the commercial side is likely to follow.

Whether such people would want to relocate to Switzerland or would trust the team's ownership is another matter.

I suppose next year's Honda engine might at least be better than a year-old Ferrari lump. But I don't see Ericsson suddenly coming alive as a racing driver and pulling Sauber right into the midfield.

Shame about Monisha, but it just shows the trouble with Sauber internally. Kolles would have to do a better job than he has done in F1 if he takes over

Juntos is a back marker
Just like the seasons, people have the ability to change. It doesn’t happen very often but when it does it’s almost always right. I still have the felling if they call Mr Kolles, then the goal is clear. Sauber will close down soon and the new team will come into play.

Just speculation on my part, but since Sauber could well be the factory Honda F1 team in 2018, would this split be as a result of the Honda deal including a yet to be named driver of Honda's choice?

Meaning either Ericsson or Wehrlien had to make way?

And Kaltenborn was in favour of Wehrlien, while the board was in favour of Ericsson?

Again, just speculating.

As Wehrlein is a Mercedes driver, it would make sense to back Ericsson instead, if there is a Honda backed Japanese driver coming to replace one of them next year.

Wehrlien is a Mercedes driver, but at the moment, it doesn't look like he'd be moving teams, and to a Mercedes powered team at that.

IMO, Wehrlien is a better driver than Ericsson. The big picture here is who is the better chance for points? My money is on Wehrlien 100%.

So if they did get rid of her because she wasn't running the team how they wanted it, it does make you wonder. In my view it shouldn't be up to whoever told her to favour Ericsson.

part of the take over had her and Peter Sauber selling their shares so this this could also be seen as an the natural transition.

her tenure has been up and down as the team has been struggling for a long time now. low point was probably the multiple driver contract disputes but she also found a new buyer and secured a Honda deal which will, at least financially, put the team on better footing going forward.

all in all i think she did a good job and ultimately played a large (if not key) role in keeping this team alive including a few genuinely earned top 10 finishes on the constructors table during her tenure.

a really good run in the shark tank.

The only team doing worse than Sauber is McLaren with it's Honda engine, maybe Monisha felt that it was a bad decision to switch to the Japanese power unit. Apart from the financial help (assumed) it does not seem a sensible move.

The lady might well be chuckling up her sleeve next season.

He wouldn't do a bad job running the team, providing those Swedish owners don't try and overpower him like they did with Monisha

Vasseur is a good choice, if he's taking it on. At least it's not Kolles!

Good luck to Vasseur, hopefully he can start to turn their fortunes around. But no Honda engine means they are gonna have to scrabble around to find a new engine partner for 2018 if it is true
