The Sauber team announced on Friday they have signed an agreement with Paninfo AG, who will provide the Swiss outfit with information technology hardware and services starting in January, 2002.
"As Formula One becomes more and more competitive, information technology becomes more and more important," said team boss Peter Sauber. "The development and operation of our race cars require high-performance IT that is absolutely reliable.
"I am sure that, with Paninfo AG we have found a partner that will meet our high expectations."
