Confirmed: Sauber retains Esteban Gutierrez for 2014 and Sergey Sirotkin as test-driver for Sauber in 2014

Today (21/12/13), Sauber confirmed they will retain Esteban Gutierrez for the 2014 Formula 1 season.



This is a very good decision from Sauber to keep Esteban Gutierrez for another season at least in my opinion as he's a talent driver. Also, Sauber has confirmed that it has extended its deal with Telmex into next season, which cemented the deal even further.

Meanwhile Sergey Sirotkin has been appointed as Sauber's test driver for the 2014 Formula 1 season. Who was rumoured with the drive at Sauber next season, whose presence in the team is linked to an investment deal with Russian companies. However, he was too inexperienced to earn an F1 licence. Which, I believe its the right decision due to his inexperienced and I think another season in Formula Renault 3.5 series or GP2 series will help him more.

With Esteban Gutierrez and Adrian Sutil as their drivers at Sauber next season, Sergey Sirotkin as their test driver, sponsorships in place, and Ferrari V6 turbo engines for next seasons. Things are looking up for the Sauber team.

End of post for now, new post soon, bye.
