HUNGARORING -- Sauber has reached an agreement with Ferrari to run up-to-date engines next year after signing a multi-year agreement with the Italian team.
On Thursday the team announced that it would not proceed with its planned switch to Honda next year and on Friday it was confirmed that a new Ferrari deal had been signed instead. Sauber has a long affiliation with Ferrari, which started in 1997, but this year it has used year-old power units as part of a cut price deal. From 2018, however, it will again benefit from up-to-date power units.
"I am very pleased to confirm that we will continue to work with Scuderia Ferrari as our engine supplier in form of a multi-year agreement," Sauber team principal Frederic Vasseur said.
