2005 In June, Peter Sauber announces he is to step down as team principal after negotatiating takeover by BMW for 2006.

2004 Major wind tunnel investment pays off handsomely with impressively consistent season. Score points in 12 races to finish a lonely sixth in the constructors' table. Sign former champion Jacques Villeneuve for 2005.

2003 Difficult season, scoring points at only five races, usually in wet conditions. Best result at Indianapolis, with Heinz-Harald Frentzen third and Nick Heidfeld fifth. US race also sees team lead a Grand Prix for the first time. Both drivers dropped for 2004. Finish sixth in constructors' championship.

2002 11 points is enough to give Sauber fifth place in the Constructors' Championship. The best result of the season is fourth and fifth in the Spanish Grand Prix.

2001 The team's best ever season with fourth place in the Constructors' Championship.

2000 Sauber finishes eighth in the Constructors' Championship with only six points. The highest finishes were two fifth places in Germany and Monaco. Both cars are withdrawn from the Brazilian Grand Prix after spectacular rear wing failures.

1997 The team's best performance of the season is Herbert's third in the Hungarian Grand Prix.

1996 Johnny Herbert finishes third for the team at the Monaco Grand Prix, team mate Frentzen taking fourth place. The team finishes seventh in the Constructors' Championship.

1995 The team achieves its first podium as Heinz-Harald Frentzen finishes third at Monza.

1993 The Sauber team manages a scoring finish in its first Grand Prix with J. J. Lehto taking fifth in South Africa. The team end the season sixth in the Constructors' Championship with 12 points.

thanks exxelyx for new info...

He used to complain a lot on M Schumacher. That's why i hate him.

Right on.

No name, need to write in such big fonts ka?

My support goes to the BMW Sauber team when the season starts. Its because Heidfeld is there. I hope to see what he can do with the new car. To me he's a very solid driver and can deliver the results if the car is competitive.
As for Villenueve, hope he doesn't take out his team mate again during over taking manouvers

used to be Souber fan... till BMW takes over.... and FYI its not only the words that count, but the colours too.... i didn noticed the word Petronas at first look... coz of the deep blue colour...

summore the teams colour suks.... i know BMW corporate colour is blue... but make it nicer lerr like Toyota did.... BTW, Jack is such a lousy driver.... not a single race last year he missed without making mistakes... not small mistakes... but BIG one...

ut im expecting them to make a huge debut this year... with all new engine.... the car has changed alot frm last year..... most notable is the front wing...

Jaques is too old for all this.
Petronas is not the main sponsor, so no green color
BMW Racing color (all racing, not just F1) is Blue, White and a little Red.
If they want to win, get rid of Jaques quickly
