Monisha Kaltenborn has played down the impact the potential McLaren-Honda split might have on Sauber.
Currently, McLaren is Honda’s works team, while Ferrari-powered Sauber is set to become the Japanese marque’s first customer in 2018.
But now, it seems possible Sauber could actually be the only Honda-powered team next year, particularly with Williams denying it could take over from McLaren in the event of a divorce.
“They (McLaren and Sauber) are two separate projects. We are two customers,” Sauber boss Kaltenborn told the Swiss news agency Schweizerische Depeschenagentur.
