New Sauber Presented

The new Sauber-Ford C15 was presented in Switzerland with the drivers: Heinz-Harald Frentzen and Johnny Herbert. Frentzen is looking toward the future with high hopes, he said at the presentation: "I want to win my first Grand Prix this year." The goal of the team is to reach the number five spot of the constructor championship this season. Johhny Herbert wants to beat Michael Schumacher in 1996. Johnny said: "It would be an extra special kick if I could beat Michael. Michael is not unbeatable. And it would hopefully make people think that I am as good as they thought I was before I went to Benetton." Herbert wasn't very happy about last year, eventhough he won two Grands Prix: "It was a very frustrating season last year and I can't say I enjoyed it. But I am looking forward to this one."

Eddie Irvine and Nicola Larini tested the electronics of the Ferrari, with the V-12 engine, at Ferrari's home-track at Fiorano (Italy) yesterday. Irvine clocked a best time of 1:02.071 and Larini came to a best of 1:02.081.

A new date has been set for the presentation of the new 1996 Ferrari, it will be February 15 at Maranello.
