Sauber Technical Director James Key says the team has pursued “ambitious” and “exciting directions” with its 2024 Formula 1 car
Sauber, after a successful reset in 2022, dropped to ninth place in the Constructors’ standings last season due to limitations with their previous car concept. James Key, former McLaren Technical Director, oversaw the team’s new design philosophy and confirmed that the latest car has minimal components carried over from the previous one. The focus of the design changes was on overhauling the front suspension and making extensive aerodynamic improvements. The team took ambitious and exciting directions that hold a lot of potential. However, Key is cautious that teams might start thinking outside the box with technical innovations in this rules cycle. Additionally, Sauber adopted a revamped solution for the underside of the floors to generate more efficient downforce.
