Felipe Nasr has said he is a lot happier at Sauber since the team was taken over.
After facing collapse earlier this year, the 24-year-old publicly spoke out about his uncertainty of wanting to continue with the team.

But with Sauber's future now secured, the Brazilian is a lot happier in his surroundings.
"It's very positive to see that people are coming onto the team now," he said, following reports of new staff joining Sauber, including the experienced engineer Xevi Pujolar and ex-Ferrari strategist Ruth Bunscombe.
"They are coming on important areas for the development of the car," Nasr told UOL Esporte. "Straight away, they could already see the positives and negatives of our car and our procedures, which have a direct impact.
"For next year, the team is looking to strengthen with even more people, especially on the technical side, where we are somewhat limited," Nasr continued.
"There are several key people who will join the team at the end of the year."
He welcomed Pujolar in particular, whose recently engineered Max Verstappen at Toro Rosso.
"I liked his work," Nasr said. "He is seeing how we work at the moment but I like the way he processes the information. He is very thorough and so far I have only seen very good things."
He said Singapore will provide a good opportunity to assess Sauber's recent upgrades.
"It is the first circuit at which we will use all of the aerodynamics of the new package, assessing how much it is still worth working on this car or whether it is better now to focus on next year," said Nasr.
