A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Anything related to a specific race should go in the appropriate race thread.

No fair! Sauber can't do another Brawn this year, their car looks to ... weird!

But seriously, I think it would be great for Sauber to do some serious winning this year, especially seeing as BMW packed their bags since. Just a thought though - is this year's car what BMW would have been running themselves, or is it a complete re-build since Sauber took back control?

If this does turn out to be the case, it's SO much of a Honda / Brawn story. I wonder if we'll see teams changing hands more often!

I wonder if Sauber got a head start with the McLaren rear wing with de la Rosa.

Wow - two knee control of the rear wing! :lol:

My friend said she would start watching F1 races if she ever sees holes for three knees.

According to the German magazine "auto motor und sport" it could be that Sauber is the first to copy Macca´s blown rear wing.

Well I'm sure Pedro knew about it when he came to the team.

Slightly larger picture:

Definitely a blown rear wing. Not as smooth looking as on the McLaren though.

great close-up shot!

well, whether it looks smooth or not doesn't matter if the system works and brings the car some additional speed! aestheticism is secondary over performance, isn't it? :twisted:


BTW, I just love the way this system is named - the F-duct :lol:
