Adrian Sutil aims for podiums with Sauber

Engaged with Force India since 2006 (ex-Midland and ex-Spyker), the German left the team led by Vijay Mallya to join Sauber. After 109 departures in F1, Sutil has still not finished on the podium since his best result dates from the 2009 Monza Grand Prix where he finished fourth. “I am convinced that our season will be successful and I look forward to getting on the podium for the first time, declared the German. Sauber has already had podiums in the past and that's exactly what I want. »

With the arrival of the new rules for 2014, the 30-year-old driver does not really know what to expect with his new team. Despite everything, he wanted to affirm that his choice to leave Force India was not dictated by the officialization of Sergio Pérez and Nico Hulkenberg. “To be completely honest, all I know is that Sauber has validated its crash test, did he declare. I thought it was time for a change and we worked hard to make this deal with Sauber happen. It will be interesting to see how it goes with another team after six years with Force India. »

The native of Starnberg concluded the 2013 season in a disappointing thirteenth place with only 29 points on the clock. In 2014, he hopes to repeat the performances signed by the Japanese Kamui Kobayashi and the Mexican Sergio Pérez at Sauber in 2012?
