Peter Sauber: All my drivers were special

      In an interview with Racingnews365 Peter Sauber recalled the best days of his team and its drivers…

      Peter Sauber: “What do I remember most? On the one hand — the one-two in Montreal, with BMW — or BMW with us! We really needed to win races back then.

      But for me the most important thing was fourth place in the Constructors’ Championship in 2001, when there were two rookies behind the wheel: Nick Heidfeld after an unsuccessful season with Prost, and Kimi Räikkönen. Fourth place with those two guys was simply fantastic! Of course I was surprised. But Kimi had an excellent season, and Nick was brilliant too. And we had a pretty good car. In Formula 1 you need a good car.

      Best driver? I can’t pick just one. They were all special. Maybe not particularly great, but special.”
