Sauber and Sergio Perez can count on their Mexican financial backing well into the future.
Carlos Slim Domit, the son of the world's richest man, was in Barcelona last weekend to check on Telmex and other Mexican sponsors' backing the rookie driver Perez and the Swiss team.
"I am very proud, as is the whole country," Slim told Blick. When asked how long he planned to support the driver, whos scored his first points in Spain, he answered: "A long, long time."
When asked if a five-year partnership is on the cards, he added: "Why not. We have a long term goal. We want to win the world championship one day. We have the time and with Perez a racing driver with great potential. He is only just beginning his great career."
He was told by Blick that ultimate success in Formula One costs many hundreds of millions of dollars.
"We will support Sauber with the necessary resources for as much development as possible," Slim added. "We are very happy with this team. We are like a family."
