if the numbers are correct and sauber's total asking price was around NUMBER_TOKEN million euros then you might be thinking who on earth is going to pay that for one of fNUMBER_TOKEN's worst teams we think we have the answer for you but first we need to interrupt to say something we're blown away by our channel's support which is why we're able to take big stories like andretti and sauber and turn them into videos like this most of you watching aren't subscribers and we'd love for you to change that it takes two seconds and it makes a huge difference for us if you want to see more of our videos and never miss something we publish just hit the red button and turn on notifications if you are already subscribed thank you for your continued support and thanks for waiting we'll stop interrupting your video the failed andretti sauber negotiations come down to what looks like a high valuation but there is some method to the apparent madness and this is why the team itself probably won't be unhappy that andretti's not taking over alfa romeo's renewed commercial deal and new funding was set to increase alpha's running budget in NUMBER_TOKEN bringing it up to the budget cap of around NUMBER_TOKEN million dollars for the first time so this guarantee that rousing is believed to have asked for would effectively protect sauber should anything be jeopardized rousing is a very private person so his true motives are hard to gauge but we know he's very wealthy very fond of the team and a huge fan of fNUMBER_TOKEN he's not a motivated seller and could bankroll this team forever if he really wanted to this isn't someone who needs to sell in order to make a quick buck that meant he was always likely to protect salba in the event of any sale if he went through with a deal he would have to sell to someone with a serious plan for the team because he was not going to risk its future andretti would seem like a very serious organization especially if it entered fNUMBER_TOKEN but an fNUMBER_TOKEN team's prospects are never a short-term project even an organization that has andretti's reputation has no guarantee of success there are also logistical complications to making an american team work in fNUMBER_TOKEN especially when it's buying an operation based in switzerland andretti has high standards it wants to win but alfa romeo is currently a long way from winning even it's hoped for steph in NUMBER_TOKEN is only meant to re-establish it as a regular top NUMBER_TOKEN team what would happen if andressi bought the team and didn't get that short-term success or worse felt it overestimated the team's potential then andretti could get disillusioned and want to sell that would trigger uncertainty and eliminate all the stability that salba has built over the last few years these risks might not be great but they do exist so it makes sense that rousing wanted to have some kind of protection against them rousing a longbow finance bought salva in NUMBER_TOKEN did the alfa romeo deal and invested heavily to expand the team's staff count and improve its infrastructure sauber is ultimately in a healthy place as a result which means abandoning talks with andretti makes no obvious difference to its prospects but selling with no assurances that the team's medium-term future would be secured would be
