Robin Frijns to leave Sauber in 2014

The champion of the Formula Renault 3.5, Robin Frinjs, currently third driver for the Sauber team has announced that he will leave the Swiss team after not being given any opportunity.

Robin Frinjs has announced his retirement from Sauber next year. The Swiss team has designed an alignment with the current two drivers and the Russian Sergei Sirotkin who will bring an important quantity of money for Sauber, and this is more important than the great talent of Frinjs. Recall that the Dutchman has done a great role in the Formula BMW and Renault Formulas 2.0 and 3.5 where he even won the title in the latter last year. Currently had raced in GP2 with a big win in the first race of Barcelona and a second in the sprint on Sunday. The Dutch lost the race in Hungary and returned to Spa but again left the category subsidiary of Formula 1 in Monza.
By now Robin has an uncertain future, yet these are some of the statements he made about it: “I ​​do not know what happens now. All I know is that I’m sitting at home and everyone is in Monza”. “I’m a free agent. I don’t blame Sauber, they should be kept alive as a team and I understand it. Of course, I have a great history with the young drivers that give me opportunities to Formula 1, but they also have an economic situation that everyone knows and this is something that is not in their hands. I have had many lows this year.It’s annoying, but there is nothing I can do about it. I helped Hilmer Motorsport to get their first win in GP2, which was a great achievement that I am very proud of, but other than that, it’s still a horrible year”. “Right now we do not have a plan. The most important thing is that now I am free and I can do whatever I want, so I hope someone gives me a chance to show what I can do.”
