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

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

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

When aske𓃲d for an update on when a decision would be made, Zehnder ಌsaid: "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 anymore. Still everything is under control.

"It's notไ a big deal for the mom🎀ent. There is not an immediate decision that has to be taken."

Zehnder was, how🗹eve, 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 prob🌠lem," Zehnder said.

"But for the moment, everything is runningღ, everything is in order."
