F1 team principal issues apology to driver after Hungarian GP nightmare
Sauber F1 team principal Jonathan Wheatley issued an apology to rookie driver Paul Aron after a difficult start at the Hungarian Grand Prix. Aron, on loan from Alpine, faced technical issues in FP1, leaving him with limited running time. The mandatory rookie rule for 2025 led Aron to replace Hulkenberg in practice sessions. Despite a disappointing P20 finish behind team-mate Bortoleto, Wheatley expressed regret over the missed opportunity for Aron. Sauber encountered technical issues with both cars in FP1, impacting Bortoleto’s performance as well. Hulkenberg hopes the team can resolve these issues before the grand prix, as a setback in Hungary could affect their standing in the competitive midfield.
