Sauber sign Paul the Psychic Octopus

Sauber sign Paul the Psychic Octopus

Following a rather lacklustre British Grand Prix the Sauber team have reportedly sacked Pedro de la Rosa and have replaced him with Paul the Psychic Octopus.

The talented mollusc has now finished his stint predicting results for the football World… Cup and is due to have a seat fitting at Hinwil next week and should be in the car for the German Grand Prix in just under two weeks time.

A spokesman for the team said; “We think it’s a win-win situation. Paul is immensely popular in Germany so may attract a sponsor, we could do with at least one, and he’s plainly on a winning streak so we hope he’ll bring a bit of that to the team”.

He added, “Paul is a bit of an unknown quantity when it comes to racing an F1 car but if it doesn’t work out with him then it’s not a  problem, Kamui Kobayashi is one mean sushi chef, so we’ll just eat him.”
