'Why I’ll always have a soft spot for Sauber'

The iconic Sauber name is set to vanish from the Formula 1 grid next season, as the team transitions into the Audi works outfit. To commemorate its three-decade legacy in Grand Prix racing, F1 Hall of Fame journalist David Tremayne reflects on his fondest memories of the Swiss team. Tremayne, who worked for Sauber, shares how the team, often perceived as "boring" by some, became his favorite. He recalls their 1993 debut with the Mercedes-powered C12, driven by JJ Lehto and Karl Wendlinger, marking the beginning of a significant chapter in F1 history.
