James Key left the Swiss team last week and Sauber is therefore starting the season without any technical director.

Peter Sauber announces: "Our goal is to finish regularly in the points so as to put ourselves in a significantly better position in the World Championship".

The team boss adds: "We are looking forward to another season working with our young and talented drivers. Kamui will be competing in his third full season in F1. Last year we asked him to take on leadership responsibilities within the team and he has grown into the role. With his rookie season behind him Sergio is now approaching his second season, which is often the most difficult in a driver's Formula One career. Both drivers have huge potential and will work with the same race engineers as in 2011 to continue developing that promise".
