Sauber C29

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

I think the new livery will be revealed later when they sign a big sponsor.

Has anyone else noticed the DTM-style flip-ups on the brakes at the rear of the car? Sly placement of DF!

Pedro and Kamui are FAST in the tests... behind the Ferrari's their the quickest, getting a 3-4 overall... Wow... But then again, fuel loads. And the cars are probably not in their final iterations. Yet.

Is it just me, or did they base the nose of that car off of a certain cartoon character??

The Sauber has the same "underbite" look to it ;)

True. But it's not connected to the wing now.

It's a bit hard to pick up the features on this car, i think, due to the colour. But that top picture is very interesting.

It appears they have a McLaren like louvres behind the driver and also, check the engine cover out. Is that Bahrain spec, do you think, hence the extra slots? Also what is that cylindrical thing poking out of the cover? Just more space for cooling?

I was a bit disappointed with this car's form over testing, I thought it might have done better.
