Sauber shows new logo and name

08 March 2010 @ 09:23 GMT - Ian de Beer

The Sauber team is expected to change its name soon after the outfit showed a new revised logo on its preview press release for the Bahrain GP. The 'S' is now in red and it says Sauber Motorsport instead of BMW Sauber Ferrari.

BMW is no longer part of F1 after they decided last year to quit the sport. But Sauber retained the name BMW as part of their name in order to fully benefit from the commercial rewards of the team who finished in sixth place in 2009.

When the FIA released the final entry list for 2010 the team's name was still listed as BMW Sauber. "There is only one reason why I did it," the 66-year-old told a German newspaper.
