After a tough 2014 season, Sauber is already hard at work preparing for 2015. This includes a completely different driver line-up. First announced was Marcus Ericsson. The young Swede who drove for Caterham in 2014 but parted ways before the end of the season. Caterham became the center of multiple financial and legal issues, forcing the team to withdrawal from Austin and Brazil. Marcus has already gotten a taste of driving in the Swiss team's car during the post-season test in Abu Dhabi.
Their second driver for 2015 will be Felipe Nasr. Felipe, who competed in GP2 for Carlin in 2014 and was a reserve for Williams Martini Racing, will get to make his F1 racing this year. Felipe finished 3rd in the GP2 Drivers Championship. While this is good news for the two young drivers, it leaves question as to what the future hold for Adrian Sutil and Giedo Van Der Garde. The 2 were part of Sauber's 2014 line-up, along with young driver Esteban Gutierrez, who now serves as Ferrari's Reserve driver.
Completing Sauber's line-up is Italian driver, Raffaele Marciello, who will be their Reserve driver for the 2015 season. The Swiss team will be eager to get back into the groove of things with Pre-Season testing starting in just a few days.
