SAUBER PETRONAS driver Mika Salo will do development work for Ferrari this year, in addition to his work with the Swiss team. The Finn stood in for the injured Michael Schumacher last year and will now work alongside Ferrari's nominated test driver Luca Badoer.

Sauber will use rebadged 1999 Ferrari V10 engines this year but Salo will be able to compare their performance with the Ferrari 2000 V10 and hopes that this will help Sauber with its engine development program.
