(Sauber F1 Team)
New Scuderia Ferrari test driver Esteban Gutierrez is hoping
that his time with the Sauber F1 Team will allow him to settle into life at the
Italian outfit quickly.
The Mexican signed for Ferrari before Christmas after losing
his Formula One race seat with the Sauber F1 Team as the Swiss outfit decided
to opt for an all new driver line up with Marcus Ericsson and Felipe Nasr
joining the team.
Gutierrez was in Maranello earlier this week for the first
time to meet the team. The Mexican is hoping that he will be able to help the
team move forward this season after a disastrous 2014 campaign for the Prancing
Horse which saw the team fail to win a single race for the first time since the
1993 Formula One season.
Gutierrez isn’t the only new face at Scuderia Ferrari this
season as four time world champion Sebastian Vettel joins the team from
Infiniti Red Bull Racing as Kimi Raikkonen’s team mate.
Maurizio Arrivabene also joins the outfit as Managing
Director and Team Principal from Philip Morris. Former Scuderia Toro Rosso
driver turned Formula E racer Jean Eric Vergne has joined the team as test and
reserve driver and will combine his new role at Maranello with his Formula E
commitments with Andretti Autosport.
