Felipe Nasr is now more positive about remaining with Sauber next season now that the takeover of the Swiss team has been completed.

Tghe Brazilian previously said that he wanted assurances before committing his future to the team but with the team now financially stable, Nasr has said that staying at Sauber is something he is considering.

"I think that (staying) is still an option," Nasr told Brazil's UOL Esporte in Hungary. "If it is the best, I don't know."

"I think if it brings better prospects for developing and better people for important technical aspects then I would not rule out the option to continue here," he continued. "It's very good news, I'm happy for the team,"

"It brings a better perspective both in the short and the long term. We can begin to work better in areas where we could not before because of our financial situation," he said. "In the short term, we had update packages planned from the beginning of the year that we can now press the green button on and take them to the track."
