Mar.29 (GMM) Sauber has withdrawn its appeal against the disqualification of Sergio Perez and Kamui Kobayashi from the Australian grand prix.

We take note of the stewards' decision," said technical director James Key.He added that the Hinwil based team has "put measures in place" to ensure the checking process during construction of parts is better in future."Notwithstanding the disappointment, we have shown that we have a fast car and two highly talented drivers," said Peter Sauber. "It makes me optimistic for this season."
