What engines powered the Sauber C17 Formula One cars in 1998?

The Sauber C17 used engines branded as Petronas, though they were based on Ferrari V10 units from the previous season. These engines produced around 750 horsepower, which was competitive for a midfield team at the time. Ferrari supplied similar technology to its own team, though with newer updates. The engine choice gave Sauber a solid base, helping them achieve consistent finishes. The V10 configuration was common in Formula One during the late 1990s, offering a balance of power and reliability. Prints showing the C17 often highlight the car’s rear section, where engine cover design and sponsor logos are visible. The Petronas branding adds another layer of identity to the car’s appearance. Collectors interested in technical history often value prints that capture these details.
