New Sauber technical director Simone Resta says that one of his aims is to increase the team's work force "by a third".

Sauber's new technical director Simone Resta wants his team's work force to increase "by a third".

The Swiss side have improved slightly this season as they sit in ninth in the constructors' standings - after finishing tenth in three out of the last four seasons.

Resta says that he's been very impressed by the team's efforts this season following some more challenging years and is keen to increase the number of employees who are at Sauber in a bid to get the side even higher.

"The plan is to increase," Resta told Crash.net.

"In terms of size of the team and number of employees. We are over 400 and the plan is to increase it by a third. We need to keep growing to increase and also with more manpower.

"Every place is different and every place needs something different. I hope with my experience I can contribute to the team and I am still learning about the environment, the colleagues and the processes.

"The objectives are challenging as you would always like to be a points finisher and to do another step compared to this year. Now we are stable in the midfield."
