The Sauber C22 was the car with which the Sauber Petronas team competed in the 2003 Formula One World Championship.
The C22 was driven by Nick Heidfeld, now in his third season with Sauber and was paired with experienced former Williams and Jordan Grand Prix driver Heinz-Harald Frentzen, who had deputised for Felipe Massa at the 2002 United States Grand Prix.[1][2] Massa departed the team to join Ferrari as a test driver.[3] Swiss driver Neel Jani was signed as a test driver for the 2003 season helping develop the C22.[4]
