Sauber C30 Ferrari

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.

Well Johnny Walker did sponsor Mclaren not so long ago. And I'm fairly certain various beer's have sponsored F1 teams in the past. Didn't one of them sponsor the Benetton's in '95. And I also recall (though I was not alive at this time) pictures of the Arrows A2 with branding from what I think was a brand of beer.

I guess as a society we're too politically correct now. Just because an alcohol company sponsors an F1 team doesn't mean they are encouraging drinking and driving. IMO its up to us as adults to make the right choices. Nothing wrong with a celebratory shot of Tequila following a race win :D

EDIT: Just to clarify, I wasn't attacking anyone or suggesting you are wrong etc. I understand the humour behind the comment, I was just making a general observation :)

In that last photo the winglets attached to the wheel hub are insane. They really can't claim that is for cooling anymore...

Their front suspension is mounted (to me anyway) incredibly low! Not sure if this has been mentioned before, I didn't see anything during a quick glance at previous pages.

Maybe the small hole is the intake and the chimney is the exhaust. KERS cooling maybe? I don't have a clue.
