the 24 hours of Le Mans and the victory of the sports cars - world championship for brands
and drivers in 1989 and 1990. The pilots who made history for Sauber Mercedes in 1990 and
1991 - three young men who built a famous junior team were Michael Schumacher,
Heinz-Harald Frentzen and Karl Wendlinger.The first step to
Formula 1 for Sauber alone were made in the season of 1993. The contact to Mercedes -Benz
came to life again in 1994 for a very short time, before RED BULL SAUBER in 1995 for two
years became the official team of Ford. The drivers JJ. Letho, Karl Wendlinger, Heinz -
Harald Frentzen, Andrea De Cesaris, Jean - Christophe Boullion, Nicola Larini, Johnny
