K-Mag to Kick Sauber?

[Pete Conway]

Binnotto has been asked about the priority of getting a driver in the the second seat, he feels it's a high priority and so do I... along with the advanced funding* to boost team moral, as I see an uphill slog for a team hung out to dry by the incomming owners simply because it can save them a few quid early on.

However, I feel that Kevin Magnussen would make an ideal partner for the development stages of the new SAudi team, he's worked with and often supported Nico Hulkenberg on many occasions to get that team from last to fighting for 6th, they seem to work well together and as a pair I believe it could boost SAudi's chances of hitting the road running.
I understand that Bottas is doing a good enough job to keep the team where they are but they need to change their trajectory, and perhaps removing Bottas's butt from that seat and replacing it with the Dane might just inject a little lift for 2025 and on.

*As far as I know it's not happened or been disucssed in public at least it's just my feelings about what Audi should be doing ahead of the name swap.

Talking about the same K-mag that keeps crashing in to the cars around him?
He is not even allowed to race this weekend.
If Audi wants to test how strong their parts are, he would be a great driver for them.

Haters will hate.
Sainz crashes, Leclerc crashes, Perez crashes, Hamilton crashes,Senna crashes, Schumacher crashes, Moss crashes... trying to get further up the grid than your car will go is often perilous.

if K-Mag in sauber its will the funny think will happen

Wonder how that would progress...
Remember his dust up with Hulkenberg from a few years back?
They'd probably be a lot of 'suck' between them.

They seem to get on well now, water under the bridge, and KMag has supported Nico many times and seems happy when he gets good results because it shows the development is in the right direction.

I don't believe that a new team (as in Audi) should look to plonk in untested drivers, as they really need experience to find out where they are and where they should be.

Bottas has had a few years at the team and it looks like if he had anything to input he was either ignored or it simply didn't work, and whatever Hulkenberg and KMag have done at Haas has seen results, I know it's the designers that make it happen but the drivers input must help.

Uh?
They have been teammates at Haas for the last two seasons.

That's not sleeping, that's hibernating
