Sauber launch
Peter Sauber’s team unveiled their new car yesterday and though it got little press I think it’s a more exciting proposition than the Renault one. Peter Sauber describes himself as a reluctant owner but he’s always put in the effort with F1 and sold BMW a pretty handy team.
The new car looks kind of bare without any of the customary sponsorship but then the Brawn looked like that last year, it sports a higher nose than some of the other cars but retains the long fin of the McLaren. I will watch with keen interest how Sauber do this year though barring a huge surprise I don’t expect much from them really.
With Kamui Kobayashi and Pedro de la Rosa driving for them this season they really do have the experience and the excitement though I’m not sure how de la Rosa got the nod ahead of Nick Heidfeld but then the driver market seems to be very strange this season. Kobayashi adds an element of excitement to the grid that has been missing since Takuma Sato departed, I for one can’t wait to see how he performs.
With Peter Sauber back at the helm a car that must have had significant development given how bad last seasons BMW was and an exciting driver and an experienced car developer on board they might just throw in a few surprises this year.
