Alfa Romeo Sauber F1 C37

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.

The front/centre mounting of the Halo on the Sauber is huge compared to the other cars. They have a fairing at the join.

I noticed this as well, was trying to work out what the advantage of it is - especially as it is directly ahead of the screen. I think it's that they haven't recessed the front mount of the halo, so there's a 1/4" plate stuck on top of the chassis like the F2 cars:

Where teams like mercedes added a drop in the chassis to hide the front mount:

By the looks of it, yes. Isn't this somehow similar to what Force India are doing?

i dont have any clear pictures of vjm11 Sduct ...... but I think Sauber is trying to feed the Sduct with induction flow, considering the Sduct mouth is wider than the nose holes exit, so they gain a massive amount of airflow with higher velocity
