Felipe Nasr wants Sauber to prove why he should stay

With Sauber's future seemingly secured, Felipe Nasr wants the team to prove why he should re-sign with them

Although he has failed to score this season, the highly-rated Brazilian chalked up 27 points last year in his first season Formula One.

Despite Sauber's financial difficulties, Nasr still has faith in the team, but he has said he wants to fully assess the situation before making a commitment.

"I need to see what I want before [I decide]," he said. "If I want to stay, if I can clearly see that the team have something to believe in."

"I do have faith in the team and I believe even from last year. I had a really good start to the season - my first season in Formula One - and I know the difficult times they had but it’s all related to one thing which is the development the financial situation we had."

"We struggled but as I said from my side I still have faith here, if it can gather things together it can be a place that I can perform as well."

With his future still to be decided, Nasr believes he has nothing to prove to Sauber after a season and a half at the Swiss team.

"I have been showing the little things that I can do like I did [at Silverstone] in the race like setting the fastest lap in the race [at one stage], fighting with a Williams... The last race in Austria we were already in the top ten and in Baku as well fighting with a McLaren. So all I can do as a driver I show you but that is all I can talk about."
