Prospects
Sauber celebrates its 10th anniversary in Formula One hoping to reclaim the fourth place the team secured last year. It will be a tough task, but Frentzen's experience with the team that gave him his debut in 1994 will help.
The Swiss-based team has quietly performed minor miracles to keep up with the major manufacturers on a fraction of the budget and has one of the best engines around.
