Sauber F1 team joins Red Bull and McLaren in suspension shift
The Sauber team has decided to adopt a pull-rod front suspension for their C44 car in search of an aerodynamic benefit. This decision was influenced by the success of Red Bull and McLaren, who have been using this concept since the introduction of the current regulations in 2022. The C44 is a completely new car, with many mechanical and aerodynamic changes compared to its predecessor. The front suspension is completely different and was a challenging project for the team. The bodywork of the C44 is more extreme and in line with the current trends in aerodynamics. Underneath the car, the floor plays a significant role in generating downforce.
