  Sauber - Wikipedia
Il 1997 fu il primo anno dell'accordo con la Ferrari e con la Petronas, l'azienda di stato petrolifera della Malaysia: l'accordo prevedeva che la scuderia di Maranello fornisse i motori (dell'anno precedente), e che questi venissero ribattezzati dallo sponsor.
Nell'annata 1998 Peter Sauber si affidò all'esperto Jean Alesi per cercare di fare il salto di qualità, ma il pilota italo-francese e il riconfermato Herbert non andarono al di là di 10 punti totali che posizionarono la scuderia al 6° posto.
Nell'annata 2004 Peter Sauber ha puntato su Giancarlo Fisichella e sul cavallo di ritorno Felipe Massa e in un certo modo i risultati si sono visti, con prestazioni tutto sommato migliori (frutto anche di una certa superiorità delle gomme Bridgestone rispetto alle Michelin montate da tutti i team diretti concorrenti in classifica).

 Sauber Petronas to use AMD's Opteron
Sauber apparently chose the Opteron based kit to help it progress with CFD, that is, Computational Fluid Dynamics – which is important for aerodynamics and wind tunnel testing.
Peter Sauber, team principal for Sauber Petronas, says CFD is "becoming increasingly important in Formula One," which is why it's "crucial" to have the right technology partners.
Sauber's team reckoned that only the AMD Opteron met its techy requirements after a careful evaluation of alternatives on the market, both 32 and 64-bit.

Sauber are one of the few teams who have succesfully made a debut in the 1990s and not only hung on to their place on the grid, but improved.
Sauber had built the operation up from small beginnings, first taking Sportscar World Championship points in Austria in 1976.

The Sauber Petronas C22 is the third car that has been constructed under the technical direction of Willy Rampf, so it holds special meaning to him.
Therefore even more ballast may be placed in the Sauber Petronas C22 in order to lower its centre of gravity, and there is more range to adjust the car to the various race tracks.
The PETRONAS engine also facilitated that process: compared to the unit powering the C21, it is lighter and has a lower centre of gravity.
