About Sauber
Sauber is one of Formula 1's most respected independent teams, founded by Peter Sauber and based in Hinwil, Switzerland. After a hugely successful sports-car programme, including a Le Mans win, Sauber entered Formula 1 in 1993 and became a fixture of the grid for decades.
Renowned for its engineering quality, immaculate organisation and excellent wind tunnel, Sauber operated as a competitive midfield team and a valued customer of various manufacturers' engines. It served as a launchpad for talent, giving debuts to drivers including Kimi Räikkönen and Felipe Massa. The team raced under the BMW Sauber and Alfa Romeo banners during partnership eras.
Sauber's long history and Swiss base of operations made it the foundation for Audi's planned works entry, with the German manufacturer taking over the team to mount its own Formula 1 programme.
