Hinwil: The Sauber F1 Team is pleased to announce that Esteban Guti\u00e9rrez will stay on for the 2014 season, completing the driver line-up together with Adrian Sutil.<\/p>\n
The Mexican first tested with the team at Jerez in late 2009. The following year the talented youngster was signed as \u2018affiliated driver\u2019, and 2013 saw him in his debut season as a Formula One driver finishing 16th as the best rookie in the drivers\u2019 championship.<\/p>\n
Monisha Kaltenborn, Team Principal said: \u201cWe are pleased Esteban will drive for us in 2014, because we believe he is a talented young racing driver. Last season he experienced first hand how hard it can be for a rookie to step into Formula One. Nevertheless, throughout the season he improved significantly in qualifying as well as in the races and finished the year as the best rookie in the drivers\u2019 championship. Often the results didn\u2019t fully reflect his performances. I am confident Esteban will be able to use his experiences to gain results, and this will be helped by the fact he is very well acquainted with every member of the race team.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
Esteban Guti\u00e9rrez said, \u201cI am happy to be able to continue as a driver for the Sauber F1 Team. It was a steep learning curve last season, but by working closely with the team I was able to improve continuously. It will be my fourth year with the team, the second as a racing driver, and I feel comfortable in taking the next step. The technical challenges in 2014 will be massive. Therefore it will be even more important to know well the people you are working with. I will do my very best to improve even more and support the team the best way I can.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
