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.

Do we think that's the real car? Nose doesn't look particularly low to me.

Just because the cloth is blown up at the back doesnt mean a sharkfin, cause you can clearly see it being rounded but i do agree looks like an old pic.

They Post that Picture every Year, even Ferrari used it one Time. This has nothing to do with the 2014 Car.

This is what Sauber has released Re: C33 (But I think this is an old rendering from 2010 - I see a shark fin going to the rear wing)

If someone said to me that you can have three wishes, my first would have been to get into racing, my second to be in Formula 1, my third to drive for Ferrari.

did you even bother to look the replies which are in fact in front of you?
"Explain the ending to F1 in football terms"
"Hamilton was beating Verstappen 7-0, then the ref decided F%$& rules, next goal wins
while also sending off 4 Hamilton players to make it more interesting"

Apologies with a busy schedule coupled with being time poor I lacked the forsight in this topic to read the last page.

But now thinking back a little...I think this photo was possibly discussed / linked before in the C32 Speculation thread, from what I remember this is an old stock photo for the Sauber C29....especially seeing from the shading there looks to be a shark fin and the mirrors look to be mounted on the flow pylon mounted to the floor.

I wonder, does this picture has anything in common with the real C33?

Take a closer look to the sidepods upper lip; it has a relatively complex shape...
