Sauber need cash, says Villeneuve

FORMER world champion Jacques Villeneuve admits Sauber lack the budget to improve on their current standing.

The Swiss team are one of the few in Formula One without the backing of a major car manufacturer and, along with Minardi, one of only two without direct links to big business.

That has not stopped Peter Sauber’s outfit competing for points in recent seasons but this year has proved a struggle.
