Sauber C30 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.

- Twin deflectors under the nose, first set looks more like shields and the second ones fan out heavily.
- Twin break ducts
- Square sidepod inlets (ala McLaren)

Yes, it is pullrod :)
I would say it is push rod.

looks like most of the cars will be platypus noised, 0 undercut and square side pod inlets.

This little air inlet inside the right hand side sidepod, may it be for KERS battery cooling?

Air rod certainly looks the most aero efficient solution. The cars aero looks so clean now they've been able to eliminate that unsightly control rod.

But again the car looks good. Still pull rod at the back.
I think there is still enough left unseen that we can't say everything is converging. There is the adjustable rear-wing, KERS, and the whole rear-end for most of the cars still "unknown". Hopefully those design features will continue to be differentiating and keep the innovation and the competition interesting.

The car has a very aggressive rake in it's stance, especially compared to last year.

It's possible there is no engine in the photo model, which would see the back sitting rather high up.
