Sauber signs second Mexican sponsor for 2011
The Sauber F1 team has further strengthened its ties with Mexico as the outfit has agreed a deal with the countries leading insurance company, Interproteccion.
This follows the signing of Mexican driver, Sergio Perez and Esteban Gutièrrez for the 2011 season as well as backing from Telmex.
Owner and team principal Peter Sauber is pleased to add another Mexican sponsor for the upcoming season.
"We met the key people from Interproteccion for the first time at the Brazilian Grand Prix in November, and are very pleased that we’ve been able to come to an agreement so quickly," said Sauber.
"Interproteccion is present in over 100 countries, and the international nature of Formula One offers correspondingly broad potential for synergies. We’re particularly happy, of course, that in Interproteccion we’ve now added a second Mexican company to our list of partners alongside Telmex."
Interproteccion CEO Juan Ignacio Casanueva added: "We are proud and thrilled to be a partner of Sauber Motorsport, who have signed the two talented Mexican drivers Sergio Pérez and Esteban Gutièrrez for next season – Sergio as a race driver, Esteban as a test and reserve driver.
"Interproteccion is always aiming to achieve the highest standards, with both our clients and our partners. And supporting talented young drivers like Sergio and Esteban is a way of saying ‘we believe in Mexico, we believe in success’."
