Hinwil, 17 October 2003 – Credit Suisse and Team SAUBER PETRONAS will continue their partnership during the 2004 season. This means that the Swiss financial services company remains one of the main sponsors of the Swiss Formula One team.

The partnership between Credit Suisse and SAUBER PETRONAS began in the 2001 season. Through the sponsorship commitment, Credit Suisse has been able to position its brand globally and at the same time provide clients and employees with some unforgettable moments and experiences.

Team Principal Peter Sauber is delighted about the extension of the partnership agreement: “For many years I had been trying in vain to find a big Swiss sponsor until the partnership with Credit Suisse came about. Our cooperation with this renowned financial services company has been highly important for the development of our team during the past three years. We regard the continuation of the partnership as a sign of confidence, as well as a commitment to further improve our performance.”
