Sauber's tie-up with Audi will be a 'game-changer' for the Swiss F1 squad, according to team boss Vasseur.
Following months of speculation, it was announced shortly before the recent Mexican Grand Prix that Audi had chosen Sauber as its partner for when the German car manufacturer enters F1's new engine rules era.
"On the short-term view first: it won't have a big impact except that for us that we know that we can go to the next step and it will be a huge opportunity in terms of recruitment and to be more attractive also for the sponsors for the future," explained Vasseur about what Audi's arrival would do for the team.
"F1 did a huge step up the last 10 years and, to stay as an independent team today, it's quite impossible from my point of view. It was probably the best option we could add and [we are] more than happy to have this kind of deal for the future."
