Over fifty years of motorsport heritage

The Sauber story started in 1970, when founder Peter Sauber built his first race car, the C1, and won the Swiss sports car championship in the same year. Following this first success, he decided to set up a workshop on the premises of his father’s company in Hinwil, Switzerland. For over 50 years, Sauber has become a recognized name in the world of racing – with over 30 years of competition at the pinnacle of motorsport, in Formula One.

Great successes and challenges have been crucial in forming the company’s character and identity. A combination of Swiss precision, the most advanced technology, and an international team of experts from more than 35 countries, Sauber is a melting pot of ideas, driven by a passion for racing.

From the first workshop to today’s modern facilities, Sauber has developed industrially, combining heritage and innovation, memory and vision.
