The 2015 Sauber has passed the FIA crash tests
The Sauber team announced that the C34 had passed the crash tests imposed by the FIA. The Swiss team is the second team on the grid to make this announcement. It is also worth noting that Felipe Nasr has revealed his number for his F1 career.
After the McLaren team last week, it is now the turn of the Sauber F1 team to officially announce that they have successfully passed the FIA crash tests, more than a month before the start of the private tests in 2015.
The C34 is thus ready to participate in the first private tests, which will take place from February 1st at the Spanish circuit of Jerez de la Frontera, because since last year it has been mandatory for a single-seater to pass the crash tests in order to take part in these tests.
The Swiss team’s car will be entrusted this season to Swedish driver Marcus Ericsson – a transfer from the Caterham F1 team – and Brazilian Felipe Nasr, who will make his F1 debut after a year of learning with the Williams F1 team. The latter also announced today the number he will use for his F1 career. It is number 12. As a reminder, Marcus Ericsson will wear number 9.
This will be my number from now. Thanks for Marcelo and the IMX staff who created the logo! #nasr #12 #f1 pic.twitter.com/3qHZJoiaef
