Black, white or both?
Peter Sauber
I just woke up and I saw the news about Kimi to Sauber and Charles to Ferrari.
I'm really not upset at this. I genuinely think that this is a good deal. Not the perfect one that would have been if Kimi would have stayed at Ferrari but I'm not mad.
I think it is because Kimi's post reminded me of when he came into F1, he came in it only because of Peter Sauber. Peter gave him a test and Kimi had only raced 23 races here and there. Peter believed in him and literally fought with the FIA and with great opposition since Kimi didn't have a superlicense. Peter had do sign a document taking all responsibility in case Kimi f*cked up and do tons of paperwork to get him in his seat
So I dunno. I remember that.
Kimi being Kimi is probably his way of repaying Peter Sauber for all he did for him. For believing in him when nobody else did (and nobody knew who he was).
Besides Sauber is a part of the Ferrari family so he will still be close. So I'm not that upset tbh.
I think it is fitting that the circle will be complete
