Sauber are the latest team to confirm that their 2015 chassis has passed the FIA’s mandatory crash tests ahead of next season.
The Sauber C34 is therefore homologated and able to participate in pre-season testing. A rule change in 2013 means all cars must be homologated before they can test, therefore it’s imperative the tests are passed early.
“Good news – The Sauber C34 chassis passed crash tests today and is FIA homologated,” the team wrote on Twitter, adding: “Rear crash test will follow in January, as usual.”
McLaren was the first to pass the tests after confirming last week that it’s new McLaren-Honda MP4-30 had undergone crash testing and passed.
The first pre-season test is scheduled for February 1st at the Jerez circuit in Spain.
