Yesterday saw Monisha Kaltenborn part company with the Sauber Formula 1 team after spending seven years at the forefront of the company. There were widespread reports that the departure was due to both drivers being treated unfairly at the team, however, Sauber has since ruled this out.
It is not yet fully understood why the team parted ways with Kaltenborn, but they addressed the issue of media reports surrounding the inequality of drivers Marcus Ericsson and Pascal Wehrlein as "patently untrue".

"The owners and board of Sauber Motorsport AG take strong exception to speculative and widespread media reports today that our race drivers have not been, and are not being, treated equally," read a statement from the Chairman of Sauber's board, Pascal Picci.
"This is not only patently untrue, it would be contrary to the team's absolute and longstanding commitment to fair competition. These reports, attributed to anonymous "sources", are highly detrimental to both Marcus Ericsson and Pascal Wehrlein as well as to the management and all staff of Sauber."
Sauber head to Baku this weekend with a leading figure at the team. There have been no indications to who could take control of the team, with names such as Peter Sauber, Jost Capito and Jorg Zander being thrown in the mix.

Surely Peter Sauber is too old at this stage?
