We have been in recent days story rumors, where there has been persistent talk that it will Andretti together with other investors became 80% owner of Sauber. But according to the portal The Race, Andretti doesn't want (or can't?) Satisfy financial desires the current owners of the team, especially the Swedish billionaire Finn Rausing. Last week, colleagues from car engine and sport reported that it must Andretti pay a bank guarantee of $ 250 million, in addition $ 350 million to buy a team.
