BUDAPEST (Reuters) - The Swiss-based Sauber Formula One team announced a multi-year agreement on Friday to continue using Ferrari engines after this season. The deal came a day after the team, currently ninth in the championship, and Honda cancelled a planned partnership from 2018. Sauber principal Frederic Vasseur said his team's long history with Ferrari would allow them "to move forward swiftly and efficiently, also in terms of the development of the 2018 car." Sauber are using last year's Ferrari power unit this season but Vasseur told reporters at the Hungarian Grand Prix, before the deal was announced, that such a situation could not continue in 2018. Sauber have used Ferrari engines since 2010, after BMW withdrew from the sport.
