F1 supremo believes Austrian would be ideal for Sauber
F1 supremo Bernie Ecclestone has backed Christian Klien to join Kamui Kobayashi at Sauber.
The Austrian has served as BMW-Sauber's test driver for the past two seasons, and with the Hinwal-based team no owned solely by Peter Sauber, the former Jaguar driver has been linked with a race seat.
"It would be super if Christian Klien got the Sauber cockpit," Ecclestone told Austrian broadcaster
ORF.
"I've always supported Christian and Sauber would be a good team for him."
Klien, a veteran of 48 grand prix, is believed to face competition from Nick Heidfeld and Pedro de la Rosa amongst others for the position.
