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.
to me it looks like that Sauber has aimed for a similar solution as Ferrari, with the forward angled pushrods.
This makes me wonder, if Sauber still produces it´s own gearbox, or has sourced the complete drivetrain engine+gearbox+KERS from Ferrari again.
The did run a complete Ferrari rear in earlier years.
Does somebody know, what the Sauber gearbox situation is?
IMHO, the car looks quite "bulky" in the rear, sidepods and engine cover exit.
Sure they will have there reasoning and ideas behind it, and I wish them well, but it looks a lot less "elegant" compared to the F150.
Especially as far as flow to the beam wing is concerned. Let´s see how it goes.

Possibly temporary.... remember scarbs (and others) suggestion that they could blow the starter hole and have another central exhaust. The tapered rear could potentially allow such a solution to be housed...

But most of them are all the same company TelMex; Telcel and Claro are just brands.
The much vaunted "Another slammer for Sauber as tequila giant signs deal" turns out to be a tiny little sticker on a sidepod inlet.
The fact the (pointless) "Sauber Club 1" logo from last year still hogs so much valuable real estate, is a real concern surely?
Actually, América Móvil is the parent company of those brands including Telmex. And also, there are three Cuervo stickers; one on the front side of each sidepod and one on top of the nose.
