Ericsson to join Sauber for 2015
« on: November 01, 2014, 08:58:42 PM »
Either that kid has the smarts, or he's got great management.  Only a few days after Caterham goes south, he's grinning with a new race seat.  Way to go Marcus!  I hope Sauber gets its act together next year, maybe with some new sponsorship and makes its way back to a strong mid-pack season.

Not great talent or good management but buckets full of cash,  :swoon:  it's reported that Ericsson can bring as much as $18m in sponsorship with him.   -  That probably even outbids Gutierrez' Mexican backers. 

Ever wondered why there was never a suggestion that Marcus would sit out a Friday practice or give up his race seat like Kobi at Caterham ................ Big bags of money means you call the shots in F1.  :D

I agree with a lot of that John, but I will add one caveat.  Ericsson did improve a huge amount in the last two races he drove this season after the braking system was changed.  I know that he's still primarily in Formula 1 for his cash, but at least he looked a lot better than he did for much of the season.  Also, it's not as though Sauber's drivers this year have been very impressive.
