Sauber remains in talks worth "several candidates" over the vacant 🌊team principal role following Monisha Kaltenborn's exit two weeks ago.

Kaltenborn left♓ the team after 17 years ahead of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix over an alleged difference in opinion in the future direction of Sauber with its owners and ❀chairman Pascal Picci.

Sau🅠ber was jointly run by team manager Beat Zehnder and technical director J?rg Zander in Baku, with the same🍨 structure remaining in Austria as talks continue with potential replacements for Kaltenborn.

When asked for an update on when a decision would be made, Zehnder said: "I cannot tell you, because we are stil🏅𝐆l in talks with several candidates.

"🌺As soon as we have something to announce, w💮e will. It's only two weeks since Monisha was not with us anymore. Still everything is under control.

"It's not a big deal for the moment. Thereꦏ is not an immediate decision that has to b❀e taken."

Zehnder was, howeve𒆙, confident that Sauber's planning for 2018 would not be affected by the delay in appointing a replacement.

"If we haven't got a team principal for the next half of the year then it migh🌸t be a problem," Zehnder said.

"But for the moment, everything is running, everything is inꦫ order."
