Sauber plans February launch

The Sauber team will unveil its 2003 challenge in Zurich on Sunday February 9. The cars will then be sent straight to Italy where they will do their first shakedown runs at the Vairano test track the following day. The team then plans to have an intensive testing programme throughout February before the team heads off to Australia at the end of the month. The car is much later than some of the other F1 cars and Sauber has decided on this route in order to maximise the development time available.
