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.

Nobody would allow any separation on their rear wing on purpose, especially with monkey seat gone. It reduces rear wing performance, diffuser performance as a result and therefore performance of entire car.
And they call it a stall. A STALL!

That's a wing that is... not working well.
Wing's working fine. DRS can cause flow separation at that point.
I don't buy that - mostly because you don't see this on other team's wings, as shown above by the Mercedes flow vis.

Different wings.

I wasn't saying it doesn't happen, it most certainly does from time to time. It's a variable geometry with flow barely attached in the first place, of course there's gonna be an unexpected separation. And it's not a big deal since there are no common tools for this issue on the wing on that photo.

My point was you don't want that to happen, ever, as Valtteri demonstrated. :) Even with DRS it's not supposed to happen.
And they call it a stall. A STALL!

That separation may be one of the reasons for an unstable performance trough corner.

Do notice there is no Gurney flap on that wing and neither a V slot for vortice generation, so it's not that surprising to see this kind of separation. G-flap and v-slot will help with that, but only the team knows if it will completely prevent separation.
I can be something related to what you say. There is no Gurney Flap so maybe they were investigating the effect of removing the Gurney flap in that wing and see if there was any problem

First look at the cooling package:

Stacked radiators, a bit like the Caterham CT05.

Maybe, is this the same concept Ferrari is using since last year?

No, it’s a completely different configuration. Ferrari and Haas radiators are arranged in a forward V pattern, while the Sauber ones are stacked vertically. Closest would be the 2014 Caterham CT05:

Obviously this car is a massive step forward in terms of packaging compared to the Caterham, which had extremely large sidepods.

No the Caterham has a very classic layout. Many car had/have a similar one. Closest would be the W02

No the C32 was completely different with almost vertical rads
