The Swiss team are then expected to join the first pre-season test of the year at Jerez in Spain on January 28-31, when the world will get its first glimpse of 2014’s new-look, V6 turbo-powered F1 machines in action.
Sauber, who finished seventh in the 2013 constructors’ championship, will field a revised driver line-up this season, with Adrian Sutil joining from Force India to partner Esteban Gutierrez.
Next week is set to be a busy one for car reveals, with McLaren’s on Friday, Ferrari’s on Saturday and now Sauber’s on Sunday. Red Bull, Mercedes and Caterham, meanwhile, will all roll out their 2014 machines at Jerez on the opening morning of testing.
