It follows Sauber’s recent collaboration with Alfa Romeo, with the Italian marque becoming Sauber’s title sponsor for 2018, while the team was also boosted by the arrival as Frederic Vasseur as team principal.
In a statement Sauber said until a new organisation is announced that “department heads and current project leaders” will continue to oversee the development of the C37, as well as the team’s 2019 car under the supervision of Vasseur.
