At Sauber, Krack quickly became a valued team member. He began as a Data Analysis Engineer but eventually became Felipe Massa's Race Engineer in 2003. When BMW joined forces with Sauber, Krack became Chief Engineer.

In 2008, BMW Sauber driver Robert Kubica competed for the championship and took victory at the Canadian Grand Prix, but despite a strong year, the BMW Sauber management decided to stop further development of its car that year, switching focus to the 2009 F1 season. Krack disagreed and left BMW Sauber.
