2009 was an ordinary year for them with 2 points finishes, before they picked up in 2010. |
An established team with varying levels of success over the years in various guises were nowhere. They signed a tech/partnership with McLaren and within 12 months they grab a pole and podium. Not to mention the results Kimi took from Sutil.
James Key was probably the bigger variable as Sauber lifted their game when he was within their ranks.
If engines, gearboxes, hydraulics etc are all fair game...you have control ECUs...i dont see the fuss re sharing mech parts.
Good on HAAS, gutted Fernandez couldnt make Caterham work.
