For teams like Red Bull, Ferrari, and McLaren, it’s another year of duking it out for both the Driver’s and Constructor’s Championships. The three title favorites remain at the top of the heap with the rest hoping to catch up in the 2011 season. One of those teams is Sauber, and recently, the Swiss team unveiled their 2011 racer, the C30-Ferrari, at the Circuit Ricadro Tormo near Valencia, Spain.
The team’s technical director, James Kay, has high hopes for the C30, especially after a disappointing 2010 season for Sauber. “In order to take a step forward in 2011, we were already systematically tackling the C29′s weaknesses over the last season – and we’ve made progress," he said.
"It was important for us to build, firstly, a fundamentally predictable car and, secondly, one that would provide sufficient flexibility to respond to ongoing findings at the track and during further development stages."
Sauber has also hand-picked their driver line-up for the 2011 season, tapping Japanese buzzsaw, Kamui Kobayashi, and 21-year-old Mexican and reigning GP2 runner-up, Sergio Perez, to lead Sauber’s charge up the order and back to Formula One respectability.
