Мониша Кэлтенборн станет первой в истории Ф1 женщиной-руководителем команды. 

Женского очарования в Формуле совсем скоро станет больше. У команды Заубер после ухода Петера Заубера появится женщина-руководитель, пишет YallaF1.com.

Monisha Kaltenborn will become Formula 1′s first ever female team boss, is the revelation of Peter Sauber, who at the age of 68 has hinted he might call it a day before his 70th birthday.

Indian Kaltenborn, 41, is already Hinwil based Sauber’s chief executive, while Peter Sauber remains the team principal. “I have always said that I will not be sitting on the pitwall as a 70 year old,” Sauber told Der Sonntag newspaper.

“With certainty, my successor is Monisha Kaltenborn. That is for sure. When it (the handover) happens is still open. “She will be the first female team boss in formula one history,” Sauber continued. “She’s been with us for 13 years, always with leading roles. I’m sure she will do the job very well.”

Sauber, in fact, has already departed the pitwall once before, when he sold his team to BMW and handed over to Mario Theissen. Somewhat reluctantly, he returned in 2010, having rescued the Hinwil based employees in the wake of German carmaker’s sudden withdrawal. “I could not jump into the breach a second time,” smiled Sauber, hinting that his retirement this time around would be final.

Биография Мониши Кэлтенборн:

Kaltenborn was born in Dehradun, India. Her family emigrated to Vienna when she was a child, and she took Austrian citizenship. From 1990 to 1995 she studied for a Law degree at the University of Vienna, and then completed a masters' degree in International Business Law at the London School of Economics in 1996. Whilst still a student in Vienna, she worked for the United Nations Industrial Development Organization and the UN Commission for International Trade Law, and on completion of her studies she worked for various legal firms: first in Stuttgart with Gleiss Lutz; then back in Vienna with Wolf & Theis; and finally for the Fritz Kaiser Group in 1998-1999.

At this stage, Kaiser was a co-owner of the Sauber Formula One team (along with founder and team principal, Peter Sauber and Red Bull owner Dietrich Mateschitz), and Kaltenborn was employed to take charge of the team's corporate and legal affairs.

By 2000, Kaiser had sold his shares but Kaltenborn remained with the team as the head of its legal department. From 2001, she has been a member of its Management Board, and in early 2010, following the team's return to independent status following the withdrawal of former partner BMW, she was appointed CEO of Sauber Motorsport AG. She is also involved in the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile's Commission for Women and Motorsport, under Michèle Mouton.

In her first job in Stuttgart, she met Jens Kaltenborn and married him in the Himalayas.[3] They have two children and live close to the Sauber factory in Switzerland. - Wikipedia.
