Seeing a Sauber without Red Bull livery takes some getting used to, and, to makes matters worse, the airbox space traditionally allocated to the Austrian drinks company was left a blank blue after it purchased and renamed Jaguar Racing. The area has now, though, been filled with Credit Suisse signage, and, although the finance house is majority shareholder in the team, sources are adamant that additional funding has been made available in exchange for the space.
It is what is under the airbox, though, that has been the subject of so conjecture recently. That the Ferrari/Sauber engine relationship runs its course at season's end is well documented, but negotiations are far from dead, and the partnership could well be extended subject to certain terms being agreed. These, like most matters involving the Scuderia of late, include not insignificant amounts of Euros.
