Sauber has transformed itself in the last few F1 races – via a set of upgrades it hadn’t actually planned to create
Nico Hulkenberg’s surprising podium finish at the British Grand Prix highlighted a significant shift in the midfield dynamics with Sauber’s recent resurgence.
Despite initial struggles, Sauber has outperformed even Red Bull in recent races, with Hulkenberg emerging as the sixth-highest scoring driver since the Spanish GP in May.
Sauber’s improved performance can be attributed to a series of strategic upgrades, including enhancements to the floor, front wing, engine cover, diffuser, and rear wing.
These modifications have not only boosted the team’s competitiveness but also improved the car’s drivability, particularly in challenging airflow conditions.
Sauber’s unexpected success with the upgrades underscores the team’s newfound momentum and potential for further development in future races.
