06/21/17 Rumors are that Monisha Kaltenborn has been sacked by the Sauber team.

The new owners of the team have not been happy with its performance and after years of struggle under her leadership, the rumors are that the new owners wanted a change.

Kalnteborn became the Swiss team's CEO in 2010 when Peter Sauber rebuilt the stable he had sold to BMW five years earlier, and she became a part owner when buying shares in 2011.

In 2012 the Indian-Austrian became Formula 1's first female team principal, but she has now left her Sauber post, meaning the team currently ninth in the constructors' standings have no boss heading into the Azerbaijan GP.
