Peter Sauber is thought to be dying his hair blond this week in honour of BMW-Sauber’s maiden F1 win at the weekend.

In an interview with radio station Radio Zurisee, the 64 year old revealed that he would dye his hair blond when the Formula One team, who still bear his name despite his selling the majority of his stake to BMW in late 2005, won their first race in the sport.

Before selling his stake, Peter Sauber’s team participated in over 200 Grand Prix over a span of 12 years, collecting 195 points and six podium finishes but no wins.
