Sauber C34 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.

nothing spectacular but this blue yellow is still better than grey/white!

it'S of course of new car... maybe not much developed from C33 but still

old front and rear wing ... like every team yet ;)

side pots look a bit smaller ... the c33 had huge side pods

air box looks a bit smaller, maybe the ferrari engine needs less space now

The design looks better than I had expected. Taking into acccont their problems I see some good points and acording to their comments they look more positive and with more new pieces yet to comme.

But the livery is terrible, those colours... :roll:

Could you tell us what are in your opinion good points?
I mean compared to the Mclaren for example the nose seems much more ineffecient.

Well the car isn't actually on track is it?

I like the colour scheme, will certainly make it easy to spot on TV.

As for the design elements it looks like it is slimmer toward the rear which is never a bad thing.

That nose looks wide long and deep hopefully they have a higher performance solution on the way.

I think that the car is better than I had though, I am no comparing it to Mclaren. But perhaps is not a lot taking into account that I was expecting a severely undeveloped car.

Seem's like sauber are struggling, it look's like last season's car with a few changes here and there. Then you have there new nose, I mean wow! I thought the Fia designed the rules to get rid of this. Looking at it doesn't look legal but we'll have to wait and see if that is the final nose.

I think the nose is what got me the most...
The weight in that thing compared to a Merc nose has to be quite significant.
And it sort of goes all the way back to the suspension.

Simple liveries can be stunning, this C34 livery isn't one of those I am afraid, very plain.
