Sauber remains in talks worth "several candidates" over the ಌvacant team prin🅰cipal 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 c💞hairman Pas💖cal Picci.

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

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

"As soon as we have something to announce, we will. It's only two weeks since Monisha was not with us anymo🌜re. Still everything is under control.

"It's not a big deal for the moment. There is not an immediate 💞decision that has to be taken."

Zehnder was, howeve, 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 might be a problem," Zeꦍhnder said.

"But for the moment, everything is running, everything is i♛n order🅰."
