Sauber focusing on performance after rescue

Sauber team principal Monisha Kaltenborn has said that the team must now focus on finding performance after it's future was secured last month.

Longbow finance purchased a controlling stake in the team, ending months of uncertainty for the Swiss outfit.

Now Kaltenborn has said attention can turn to moving back up the grid and regaining their form from previous years.

"We need to focus not just on how to survive the next day but to think longer term and get the most out of the car," she told Autosport. "I'm convinced you can still get things out of this year's car but then focus on next year's car."

"There are no excuses not to be good next year," she added. "We're not saying we want to be right on top next year, but we know what we can do.

"We have the infrastructure for it and we have the people so why should we not have that ambition?"
