With the drivers Heinz-Harald Frentzen and Johnny Herbert the Swiss Sauber-Team started into the 1996 season with great expectations. Their optimism was buoyed by the Ford-Zetec-power unit from the engine manufacturer Cosworth, which was at the exclusive disposal of Sauber. The engine, which had been converted from 8 to 10 cylinders, was the eighths power unit since the beginning of the cooperation between Ford and Cosworth. The output was 670 hp at 15 800 rpm. But to Sauber's great disappointment the new engine could not come up to the expectations placed in it.

With few realistic options for continuing his Formula One career, Frentzen retired to look elsewhere for his motor sport fix. That search led him back home, and a seat in Opel's DTM squad for 2004. A moderate first season in what was an under-performing car was ... deemed good enough for a second crack in 2005 indeed he finally notched a surprise podium place at Brno, but with Opel quitting the series at the end of the year, Frentzen's future remained in limbo once again until after protracted negotiations he signed to drive the Abt Sportsline Audi.
