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.

They have integrated the steering rod into the upper suspension.

Thanks Marcus. That´s the one.

Saw they had 1:1 steering wheels. Expensive as hell but a dream for simracers who are a bit handy, just implement som electronics in that and you have an awesome wheel.

Which is the new front wing? Those two wings are different. On the top one, the element just below the Telmex sticker has more curve to it, as well as the support strut being further outboard. Also, the 'wave' in the main wing elment (just below the above mentioned element) is more pronounced. Also, the bottom wing is missing the element with the red Claro sticker, but I'm assuming they just haven't installed it yet.

Or is one wing just a higher/lower downforce wing that the other?

The bottom wing is the new, cause it has another small cascade attached to the side of the big one.
