The second day of testing is underway in Bahrain today and while a number of team's are working on their reliability the Sauber F1 Team are concentrating on working on their new brake by wire system which is brand new for the 2014 Formula One season.

Sutil also confirmed that the team have being carrying out initial set up work of their new C33 however they are not yet 100%.

 

Sutil's team-mate, Esteban Gutierrez took over driving duty for the Swiss based team today and is currently in 8th place just behind Toro Rosso's Jean Eric Vergne but ahead of Romain Grosjean who completing his second day of testing for the Lotus F1 Team in their new E22.
