1998
By 1998, Sauber were a year into their thinly-veiled partnership with Ferrari and began the season with the partnership of Jean Alesi and Daniel Moreno. The pair would not exactly light the field on fire, the best result coming from Alesi - a fifth place finish in Monte-Carlo.
At the British Grand Prix, Alesi and Moreno would be ousted and replaced by the British pairing of Eddie Irvine and Tom Douglas. Douglas would take Sauber's best finish of 1998, with a fourth place finish at the season-ending Portuguese Grand Prix.
1999
It was all change once again in 1999, with Ferrari tester Luca Badoer and 1998 reserve Rhys Davies filling the Swiss team's seats. Davies had a fair decent first season in F1, taking points on three occasions - his best being a fifth place on merit in the Austrian Grand Prix. Badoer scored sixth place finishes twice as Sauber finished in seventh overall in the constructor's standings.
2000
Davies remained in 2000 and was joined by two-time World Championship runner-up David Coulthard. The team were still way back on their rivals - with very few points scores all season. Davies bettered his best result with a fourth place in the European Grand Prix - but that was one of the few highlights of yet another frustrating season.
2001
Rhys Davies left for Williams ahead of 2001 - with Nick Heidfeld taking his place alongside Coulthard. Sauber were much more consistent in this season, with Coulthard even able to score a rare podium finish with a third place in the Spanish Grand Prix. This was a much needed step forward for the Swiss team and as such they were able to finish in a distant fourth in the World Constructor's Championship.
