Moderator Tommy Posted February 13, 2019 Moderator Posted February 13, 2019 BOLDEST PREDICTION OF 2019: Valtteri Bottas WDC 2019. I mean, just look at him. Bearded Bottas best Bottas. Beats Lewis look-wise = psychological advantage off the charts! Quote

Much better than in recent years. The drivers overalls look like pyjamas though That Sauber livery is just one-off for testing. But there are already a few really interesting things in those leaked photos such as a very original and unconventional front wing if (it's not just a dummy for the rollouts) Weird looking nose as well (a bit similar to last year's McLaren). Rake seems to be quite high; an aggressive looking car overall. Love it. Definitely the most unique design so far. Very excited to see how it performs! More pics: 1 Quote
Moderator Tommy Posted February 14, 2019 Moderator Posted February 14, 2019 That front wing Now you know what they meant with "radical design". I am really looking forward to see how they'll do on track. Quote

Administrator Stan Posted February 14, 2019 Administrator Posted February 14, 2019 That McLaren livery is beautiful. Quote
MUFC Posted February 14, 2019 Posted February 14, 2019 Hope the new simplified wings makes it easier to follow cars. Quote
Moderator Tommy Posted February 14, 2019 Moderator Posted February 14, 2019 Look at the front wing from that angle. Bizarre 1 Quote

They seem to be angling the winglets towards the exterior to induce outwash but it looks such an extreme design! Also look at the complexity of the bargeboards: AMuS has posted a nice gallery and overview of more new details; very interesting read: https://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/formel-1/alfa-romeo-sauber-c38-f1-auto-2019/ Quote
Moderator Tommy Posted February 14, 2019 Moderator Posted February 14, 2019 Looks like that Ferrari designer joined them with the condition to have complete creative freedom I really hope it works out for them. Quote
Administrator Stan Posted February 14, 2019 Administrator Posted February 14, 2019 Still can't get my head around that livery It's like Lawrence Llewellyn-Bowen has vomited all over it. Quote

Simone Resta? I just hope the intention is not to make Sauber a testbed for Ferrari 2 minutes ago, Stan said: Still can't get my head around that livery It's like Lawrence Llewellyn-Bowen has vomited all over it. It's just a camouflage livery to hide the specific details on the car and they put the traditional Alfa Quadrifoglio symbol + hearts for Valentine's day haha. Quote

Many people are suggesting that the 2019 challenger looks to plain, and that they're hiding some elements. Quote

Many people are suggesting that the 2019 challenger looks to plain, and that they're hiding some elements. Yeah I think most teams do to be honest... But it can also be the case that they did most changes "under the hood" instead of radically changing the whole car. Makes sense too considering that the car performed well last season as well... The front wing is by far the most interesting part for me this time. Ferrari & Sauber seem to have interpreted it completely different from Mercedes or Red Bull so it will be really interesting to see which concept performs best! Quote
