2002 Sauber C21 news, pictures, and information | ||
| Tweet | ||
For the start of 2002 campaign, Sauber is determined to defend its fourth place in the 2001 Constructors Champoinship.
The C21 is a completely new car that evolved from the successful C20. The principal aim of the development programm has been to maintain the excellent consistency and performance of the C20 while achieving an improvement in aerodynamic efficiency, not just in terms of the most favourable ratio of downforce against drag, but also in areas such as engine cooling. However, weight reduction, a lower centre of gravity, superior torsional rigidity and further optimisation of the engine and gearbox packaging were also priorities.
Team Sauber continues its commitment to young drivers. Nick Heidfeld, a 24 year-old German, who joined for his second season followed by 20 year-old Brazilian Felipe Massa, the reigning Euro 3000 series champion.Source - Sauber

| MALAYSIAN GP - PREDICTABLY UNPREDICTABLE | |
 | The hordes of Malaysians who commute by scooter every day have an interesting method of keeping dry; they wear their waterproof jackets with the zips at the back to fend off the driving rain. At the Sepang circuit this afternoon in FP2, the F1 drivers simply chose to drive back into the pits and fit intermediate tyres, as the traditional afternoon storm, not a heavy one today, hit the track.

| GERMAN GP: MASSA: 'A LONG SEASON IS FINE FOR ME' | |

For Felipe Massa that's no problem at all. 'It does not feel like a long year to me now, although everything is related to how well you are doing on the track,' claims the Scuderia Ferrari driver.
