Swiss rookie Neel Jani (19) has joined the team, indicating Sauber's desire to continue development of the rapid C22. Team Principal Peter Sauber comments "Having watched Neel Jani's career for quite some time, I got to know him better last year. There's no doubt that Neel has a lot of talent, and I feel that the time has come to give him this chance."
