According to rumours, Team 23's title sponsor KLM is not amused by the lack of performance the team has shown in the first three races of the season. KLM signed to sponsor "a highly-competitive team", however the team is currently struggling to finish in the top ten. The Dutch team has been called a "sinking ship" by some - the team's number one driver Jean Mattson, who finished second in the championship last year, has already signed with Peugeot for next season. The team is already struggling to get their budget sorted out, and losing the team's title sponsor would be almost catastrophic. If the results don't improve, one should not exclude the possibility of KLM walking out mid-season. Questioned about the KLM sponsorship, the team principal said: "KLM is a great sponsor, but they have very high expectations. Of course we would love to be leading the field, but that's simply not realistic at the moment. Whether we will improve this season, I'm not so sure - we are already starting to focus on 2015. Whether KLM is willing to take the risk and stick with us for another season that's entirely up to them."
Elroy Wagner, who has no expertise on this subject whatsoever, felt the need to express his opinion too: "KLM have basically bought, as we say, a cat in a bag: the team was great in 2013, so they bought themselves in, and then the team turns out to be completely sh*t in 2014. I don't know if Andae is just very clever, or if KLM are a bunch of retards - I suspect the latter, because we've seen many times that the former isn't true."
