Sauber focus on the future after dismal 2014 season

The Swiss team, who have been struggling financially, drew a complete blank for the first time in their 22-year history last year - one of only two outfits to end the campaign without scoring.

"2014 was a very disappointing year. However, this is in the past, and we now focus on what comes next. We have learned our lessons and are confident for the new season," said team principal Monisha Kaltenborn in a statement.

"We have to improve, and be able to fight for championship points." Sauber have an all new lineup in Sweden's Marcus Ericsson and Brazilian rookie Felipe Nasr.

The Ferrari-powerd C34 car's colours, a marked change from last year's grey livery, reflected the nationalities of the two drivers as well as their backers on a car short of prominent sponsors.

Mexican sponsors Telmex have departed following the exit of Esteban Gutierrez, now a Ferrari reserve, while Japanese backer NEC has also migrated to rivals Force India. Banco do Brasil has arrived with Nasr.
