New Audi F1 boss stunned by old team Red Bull: ‘Never have believed it’
Jonathan Wheatley has been surprised by a startling statistic that emerged in the first half of the F1 season. Since he joined Sauber in May, the team has experienced a renaissance, currently competing for fifth place in the constructor’s championship. Nico Hulkenberg’s impressive performance, scoring 31 points in the last four races, stands out compared to Red Bull’s second drivers who have only managed seven points this season. In the last 22 races, Red Bull’s second drivers have accumulated just 28 points, making this season remarkable for Wheatley since he switched teams. Working closely with Mattia Binotto on the Audi F1 project, Wheatley is proud of the team’s progress and believes they are moving in the right direction.
