1999
Diniz struggled to get to grips with the uncompetitive Sauber car for his first season, finishing the season 22nd in the World Drivers' Championship, his best finish being a ninth place at the Monaco Grand Prix. This meant he was the lowest-ranked driver out of everyone who competed in all Grand Prix.

2000
Diniz was retained by Sauber for the 2000 season. His and the team's first ever point followed at the Brazilian Grand Prix, and scored another point during the San Marino Grand Prix, a race with a high attrition rate. After a period of lesser results, he and teammate Mika Salo managed the team's best ever finish at the time with a 4th place for the Finn and 5th for himself respectively at the Canadian Grand Prix.

He ended the season 15th in the World Drivers' Championship, contributing to Sauber's impressive 6th position in the Constructors'.
