Sauber to launch new car in Zurich on January 25

THE Sauber team has announced that it will be unveiling its new Sauber Petronas C21 in Zurich on January 25. The car will be raced next year by Nick Heidfeld and Felipe Massa and while the team cannot really hope to much better than this year, Peter Sauber is hoping that the team can maintain the same kind of performance and battle for fourth place in the Constructors' Championship with Renault Sport and the two Honda-engined teams.

The new car will be the work of the same basic team which designed the successful C20 under the guidance of technical director Willy Rampf.
