The Sauber F1 Team said in a press release that it very happy with its young team of drivers and has confirmed all three of them for the 2012 season.
Kamui Kobayashi (24, Japan) and Sergio Pérez (21, Mexico) will be lining up for the Swiss team next year as well, while Esteban Gutièrrez (19, Mexico) remains on board as test and reserve driver.
“We are very pleased with our drivers. Kamui has grown into his role extremely well this year. Though it is only his second full Formula 1 season, he is already taking on the responsibilities that naturally fall to the more experienced driver in the team,” said Team Principal Peter Sauber.
“Sergio has achieved more than one could expect from a rookie. From the very first race he proved that he is capable of driving not only fast but consistently as well. With a rookie that always entails a certain risk, of course, but clearly it has paid off,” Sauber added.
