It doesn't take a lot of reading between the lines of the Autosport / motorsport.com article to get a better view of what's going on. The owners of Sauber are effectively Marcus Ericsson's backers (owners of TetraPak) and will have kept Monisha onboard for stability reasons as much as anything else. As things have developed they don't see eye to eye so she's out, she no longer has any shares in the team (when Longbow took control they were sold/surrendered) so is purely an employee.

I don't doubt for a moment that the owners want to favour Ericsson, and that the rest of the team disagree though. Maybe there will be a third driver jumping into Pascal's car on Friday mornings pretty soon.

This is the truth.

But as to Wehrlein, be sure there's a case iron contract in place.

My money is on them putting the team in a position where Honda have no option other than to acquire it in 2019.
