Sauber C29

[Confused_Andy]

Low rear end like the williams, intricate sidepods and engine cover like the mclaren, relatively short wheel base?

Looks like Ferrari are going to be banging their heads against the wall tonight.

I love it, a very refreshing look, hope it can pull out some wins this year.

Another team not to go for the V nose - could Ferrari end up being the only team to copy Red Bull / STR?

It'd be a real cracker if RB drop the V nose concept!

true, what i can think of is that that v-nose adds the springs etc. even higher up in the car, thus increasing CoG height

My line of thinking was that the V-nose helps more if you want a mid to low nose, and that the McLaren and BMW have slightly higher noses than the Ferrari and RB.

Is it just me or are the radiator intakes teeny tiny? I thought the Ferrari was a bit of a hotty?

That what I thought too, as well as the brake ducts! Surely with the extra weight they'll be needed to cool more? I'm guessing they'll be changed during testing or at the races.

Some more photos. This time from Paddocktalk:

nope, the ferrari nose is bij far the highest nose already, and also have to V-nose implemented. The red bull last year also had a really high nose.

In this photo you can clearly see where the double deck diffuser will be if you zoom in

Do you think Mercedes will leave their rear end uncovered? Will Ross care so much about the other teams getting a look?

Lovely, neat little car. Seems to have little fuss about it and it looks light, unlikely the Ferrari which looks like a heavily pregnant Red Roman (fish).

Nice detail around the side pods and nice clean lines around the cockpit.

Lovely effort after the 2009 disaster.

On looks alone, Ferrari is currently a back marker

[wesley123]

is it me or does the diffuser seem alot higher?

[bjpower]

anyone know what the wheel base is like compared to the other cars?

[ISLAMATRON]

I dont think this diffuser will flow very well, or thats 1 hell of a gurney flap

Car looks pretty much like what they ended off with last year, except that blocked off DDD

its a very innovative flip up panel that extends teh length of the diffusor once the car is up to speed. :^o
