Sauber C31 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.

so a new difusser maybe? or adoption of the RedBull ducting..I ´d think it´s something they could do modifying their old sidepod molds.

The article tells that Sauber will have updates at engine cover and at the rear. But nothing specific.

I love this car. Every detail seems purposeful and well thought out. =D>

again ..the measuring device is reminding me of the guys in my work doing the measuring .It´s not they don´t know their trade´,far from it but :it´s always a bit of standup improvisation and a bit make do solution .They are NOT interested at all in producing measuring equipment that does not influence the car too much .It´s very low on their agenda .
It looks like this is a trait these guys have all in common... :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
I always ask myself why it may be so important to design and manufacture a car to incredible detail and precison if it is ok to measure your results applying the sensors and other hardware by means of a tape and a bunch of tywraps..
