Sauber boss Monisha Kaltenborn insists that her team has not lost its quality, despite struggling in recent seasons.
The former factory-backed, race-winning team came close to collapse earlier this year, but has since been rescued by new owners, and Kaltenborn thinks that makes the Swiss team more attractive again.
"I can assure you one thing, we are far more attractive now than we were a few months ago," she told Autosport. "It speaks for the quality of the team as some people tried to reduce this team for two years when we were not strong."
"We had two crappy years, 2014 and this year, but this is not Sauber. There are some people out there who see this. There are a couple of [driver] options on the table and we are assessing and seeing what to do."
Although confirming that pay drivers were likely, Kaltenborn has admitted that a decision on who will drive for the team in 2017 has not yet been made.
"I’ve got no timeline in mind. We have our options, we are assessing them and when we are ready, we will announce. It's good to do it quickly, because then you have certainty, but there is no time pressure."
