Caterham team Principal Cyril Abiteboul has insisted that the team’s future is secure despite finishing dead last in the constructors’ championship this season.
Ever since their debut in 2010, the team has managed to finish in the top ten by fending off the challenge from Marussia. But this season, they failed to keep their record intact after giving way for Marussia.
But Abiteboul said that the sponsors are completely backing the team and confirmed that they are in the right track.
“Our shareholders and our partners have continued to support us unequivocally and the investments they continue to make, in infrastructure, resources and, most importantly, people, put us in a good position for the future. Now we’ll regroup, recharge and come back fighting in 2014 in an all new formula one,” he said.
However, pundits from all around the world suggest that finishing outside the top ten would be a big blow for Caterham, especially when the sport is going to be hit with a string of rule changes next season.
