However, Wendlinger underperformed and was replaced by Frenchman Jean-Christophe Boullion for most of the remainder of the year.

The car was powered by a Ford ECA Zetec-R 3.0 V8 engine.

At the San Marino GP, this was replaced by a more conventional raised nose carrying the front wing underneath on twin supports.

Thus the car became a largely unremarkable mid-1990s F1 midfielder, although it was notable for being the only 1995 F1 car to feature the raised cockpit sides which would be mandated from 1996, and for achieving Sauber's first F1 podium finish with Frentzen 3rd in Italy.

The C14 featured a dark navy blue livery with a main sponsorship from the Austrian energy drink brand Red Bull.
