The Sauber team have announced a new sponsor in Asia Jet. The Hong Kong based private jet company will be visible on the C30 during the APEC (Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation) races.
That inclueds; Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Singapore and China, as well as the first Indian GP – though not an APEC member.
The companies logo’s will be seen on the Ferrari-powered cars rear-wing endplates.
Team Principal Peter Sauber said: “Asia Jet is a prestigious and growing brand in a high-tech business in which time and performance are crucial, as is also the case in our sport. As Formula One is getting more and more popular in Asia with an increasing number of races to be held there, we regard Formula One as an ideal marketing platform for Asia Jet.”
Mike Walsh, CEO of Asia Jet, added: “We are extremely excited to be supporting Sauber Motorsport. With Kamui Kobayashi, who is already a household name in Asia, and the new Mexican recruit Sergio Perez, we look forward to discovering new heights together both on the track and in the sky with this collaboration.
“Asia Jet is a proud supporter of Formula One, and has consistently flown fans, drivers and sponsors to attend the F1 races in different cities for the past few seasons. We hope to continue and extend our reach further throughout Asia and beyond, combining the best F1 has to offer with the convenience of getting to and from the races on the schedules of our important clients. We are convinced this will be very successful for Asia Jet and further enhance our reputation as the leading private jet company of choice for our customers.”
