Sauber C29
Sauber's 2010 car, which began the season with almost no sponsors and the drivers' names painted on its bodywork.
About the Sauber C29
The C29 was Sauber's 2010 car, entered under the BMW Sauber name and designed by Willy Rampf and Christoph Zimmermann's team. It was the first Sauber with full Ferrari engines since the Petronas-badged C24 of 2005, and was driven by Pedro de la Rosa, Nick Heidfeld and Kamui Kobayashi. Poor early reliability meant the team did not score until the seventh round, when Kobayashi finished tenth in Turkey. The car improved steadily in the second half of the year, and Sauber finished eighth in the Constructors' Championship with 44 points.
