Ericsson talks

Marcus Ericsson says he’s in contact with several teams about a drive in 2017, not just Sauber. Ericsson’s current deal expires at the end of this season, as does Felipe Nasr’s, but Ericsson is believed to have ties with Sauber’s new owner, Swiss investment group Longbow Finance SA, via his current sponsor. The Swede says he’s still looking at options: “We’re speaking to different teams too, not just Sauber. Aim number one is to stay in F1 with the best possible car.”
