Peter Sauber on his 40 years in Motorsport

(1/3) > >>

John S:

To celebrate his 40 years in motorsport Peter Sauber took part in a Q & A session with Autosport magazine, it is well worth a read.

I really love his answer to the question why build sportscars in Switzerland when it doesn't make economic sense, his reply "But luckily the sensible approach doesn't always win the day", that's a true F1 guy. :good:

F1SA has a nice piece about it, too.

More informative facts about Peter, very interesting to learn that both times he has put Sauber on the grid in F1 it's been part funded by a manufacturer pulling out. Good find Cos.

That looks like a young Michael Schumacher along with Peter, Heinz Harold Frentzen, and a driver I don't recognise, in photo 9 in the F1SA gallery at the foot of the article.

I think that's Karl Wendlinger. The three of them drove the C11 in 1990. Here they are in color.

lkjohnson1950:
Always interesting to me, at this time with Sauber Michael was rarely the fastest of the three. Many people think if Frentzen had could have secured a top level ride he might have given Michael a run for his money in F1. Sadly we will never know, as he never got the kind of team around him that Schumy did.
