Sauber more “aggressive” in 2016

With 36 points scored in 2015, Sauber put an end to the long period of drought experienced in 2014. At the wheel of a C34 still powered by the turbo/hybrid V6 Ferrari, Marcus Ericsson and Felipe Nasr had started the season in good style with 14 units registered at the opening of the debates in Australia in Melbourne.

Less visible during the rest of the season, the two drivers were unable to get involved in the fight with the Toro Rosso and the Lotus, but allowed the formation of Monisha Kaltenborn to advance McLaren at the end of the championship. The Swiss team is approaching 2016 with more ambitions and wants to take a modified technical approach. “All I can say is that the concept is very different, specifies Felipe Nasr, cited by Crash.net.

The cars we had this year and last year were pretty much similar in concept. But next year we will be more aggressive. We know the areas where we need to improve. We need to try something. »
