Sauber announce new car launch date

Sauber will have an online unveiling of their new 2015 Formula 1 car on 30 January, two days before the first preseason test gets underway at Jerez in Spain.

The Swiss team will pull the covers off the Ferrari powered C34 at 0900 GMT on the same day that the Maranello outfit are also set to reveal the SF15-T.

Marcus Ericsson, who joined the team from Caterham at the end of last year, will be on driving duty on the opening day of testing on 1 February.

Fellow team newbie Felipe Nasr will be on duty on day two and day three, before handing over to Ericsson for the fourth and final day.
