The Sauber F1 Team and Scuderia Ferrari extend their current technical partnership, which is for the supply of the complete powertrain, including engine, gearbox and ERS in a multi-year agreement. The current partnership is entering the fifth year of a strong relationship that has produced four podiums in 2012.
Monisha's role is to assemble the team and get the best people she can, I doubt she has much technical influence regarding development direction.korzeniow wrote:This season's Sauber struggles are down to Monisha Kaltenborn lack of expirience.
Why would they go for such a revolutionary car when next year the rules change anyway? That's stupid.
Moreover, they will be on the back foot with the 2014 campaign because they will put a lot of effort into this season's car trying to figure out what's wrong with it...

It has to do with the new Pirelli tyres. They are more angular than in 2012 and then deform differently in the corners, which has a great influence on aerodynamics.
"Millimetres play a role but the 60% tyre for the wind-tunnel models have led McLaren and Sauber astray.”
An unnamed McLaren engineer agreed: "They (the Pirelli tyre models) are much worse than 2012."
Faced with the latest criticism, Pirelli's motorsport director, Paul Hembery said: "We are talking about 11 teams with 11 different wind tunnels. It is not easy to build good 60% tyres.”
The theory would explain why teams which made significant changes during the northern winter have suffered disproportionately so far tin 2013.(sic)
And how, as a corporate lawyer, is she supposed to determine who the best people are(except in the legal department)? If she doesn't shape the technical direction, who does? and who decides when there are technical differences. This is PC run amok. nobody dares criticize having a lawyer running an F1 team because "oh, this is great having a woman running an F1 team." i'm all for that, but let's have some woman who's technically literate instead of a lawyer.zorog wrote:...

How do you know what abilities Monisha has? I reckon that she is more up to the job than you or me.flyboy2160 wrote:And how, as a corporate lawyer, is she supposed to determine who the best people are(except in the legal department)?
