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.

Side pods seem interesting. Looks like a lowercrash structure dividing the opening with a smaller intake above the main one. Bargeboard area seems nice and busy. Interesting nose approach!

I thought the same, but now i think its just at shadow from the winglet above the sidepod, theres only one intake i think
Look in that picture oetger posted, there does seem to be an opening behind that winglet, on top of the sidepod and next to the cockpit head-protection.

Ah, that front view makes it obvious now. Looks rather complicated, but interesting how Sauber now works with multiple cooling openings both in the blade-hoop and the sidepods, and adds the FI-nose bit to stay consistent!

The side pod inlets remind me of the f4 phantom.

I like it, so small side pods and multiple cooling openings. I like the nose solution, and hopefully we will more development as the season goes. Also, the halo has small aero winglet as well so this was something to be expected having seen the images of last year season end testing days.

So the side crash structure is basically splitting the side-pod intake if I am looking at this correct.

Sauber already did "mini sidepods" in 2012 whit Matt Morris.
