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.

Proper halo double-element fairing.
very impressive work there, i was expecting something like that from redbull atleast, i'm now 100% sure that they're not showing their final halo product.

also, in the absolute dead centre of the halo: An airduct!

Yellow circle: some airduct of some sort! probably has something to do with the blue 'flap' on the front of the halo.
also, the back of the halo front 'pillar' also has an interesting outline [also in blue]
2 potential other sources of interest outlined in green, might be simple release 'buttons' but could also be covers on a yet to be opened airduct. pink also is another 'entry' for air.

also; the benetton-style intakes on top of the sidepods have been seen already, but am i not mistaken in seeing ANOTHER narrow intake alongside/in front of the sidepods itself aswell [also in bright blue]

interesting stuff.

The pink opening at least isn't an air inlet - it's the loop through which the car can be lifted by a crane; they already had it that way last year.

ah yes, thanks for the clarification, you're right.

could it be that the 'halo-wing' on top is adjustable?! if so, how? f-duct style? (so sort of 'active'?)
during driving or fixed 'adjustable' ?

That's a distorted reflection of the intake visible at the upper right.

There’s a real 2013-esque look to those sidepods; hopefully they work well and we can see some points
