Sauber looks to keep F1 team afloat, and Nelson Piquet, former three times F1 Word Champion will be interested!

Peter Sauber, founder of the BMW-Sauber team, who still owns 20 per cent of the team after selling a majority stake to BMW in 2005, has ruled out a personal return to the role of team principal, but, has vowed to use his contacts to help secure a sale of the team to a backer who will keep it running.

“I will do everything humanly possible, I can’t do wonders and I certainly don’t want to be team boss on the pit wall again. The problem is that time is short and we need to find a solution quickly. I’ve told all my people that I will use all my contacts, but I cannot guarantee anything. I am an adviser to BMW, but ultimately only it can decide how to drive it forward.” Sauber said.


Brazilian newspaper O Globo claims that retired driver Nelson Piquet, is considering a buy-out of the team in collaboration with Super Nova GP2 team chief David Sears.
