Rinland leaves as new car unveiled



HINWIL, Switzerland -- Briton Stephen Taylor is to join Swiss Formula One team Sauber as chief designer, the team said on Friday.

The Hinwil-based team said at its launch on Wednesday that the designer of this year's C20 car Sergio Rinland had left the team by mutual consent and Taylor would take his place immediately.

Taylor, 37, from Leeds, joins Sauber from McLaren international, where he has worked as a design engineer since September 1995.

Argentine designer Rinland's latest design, the new C20 car, was unveiled at the launch.

British designer Gary Anderson, who was replaced at Jaguar in December, and former Prost technical director Alan Jenkins had both been linked with the post.

Sauber will have the youngest lineup in Formula One with German Nick Heidfeld, 23, and Finn Kimi Raikkonen, 21, as its two drivers.
