MONISHA KALTENBORN LEAVES SAUBER F1 TEAM
Kaltenborn, who has worked for Sauber since the 1990s, was promoted to team principal in 2012 when Peter Sauber retired. Over the past five years, she has led the team through financial difficulties.
Swiss finance company, Longbow Finance, brought Sauber last July, securing the team’s future. It’s with this new owner than Kaltenborn is understood to have disagreed with over the future direction of the team.
The Chairman of the Sauber holding board, Pascal Picci, said the following: “Longbow Finance SA regrets to announce that, by mutual consent and due to diverging views of the future of the company, Monisha Kaltenborn will leave her positions with the Sauber Group effective immediately. We thank her for many years of strong leadership, great passion for the Sauber F1 Team and wish her the very best for the future. Her successor will be announced shortly; in the meantime we wish the team the best of luck in Azerbaijan.”
Sauber is expected to announce Kaltenborn’s replacement soon.
The team is currently ninth in the constructors’ championship with four points.
