Sauber have snapped up Marcus Ericsson to race for them next season after the collapse of the Caterham team. The Swede, 24, made his debut in Formula One this season but is not racing at this weekend's United States Grand Prix in Austin, Texas after Caterham were put into administration. Ericsson, who matched Caterham's highest-ever finish of 11th at Monaco earlier in the season, admitted he had endured a tough time of it amid the financial uncertainty but is delighted to now be able to look forward.
