Sauber confirms Hinwil visit for Nicolas Todt

Peter Sauber has confirmed that Nicolas Todt visited the Swiss team’s Hinwil headquarters last week.

Earlier, it was rumoured that Frenchman Todt was eyeing a merger of his GP2 team ART, but Sauber insisted in Turkey that his team is not being sold.

The 66-year-old said in an interview published at motorsport-aktuell.com: “I have had a very good relationship not only with his father (Jean Todt) but also with him, especially through Felipe Massa.”

Nicolas Todt also manages the 29-year-old former Sauber driver and Brazilian Massa.
