Sauber must take a leap with its final F1 car before its Audi rebranding – but what’s been unveiled doesn’t look like a big improvement, Gary Anderson reckons
Sauber has introduced their newly launched C45, aiming to make strides in performance and potentially secure Audi works status for the next year. Despite facing challenges under the ground effect regulations, the team has released renders of the car during the F1 75 event in London. Notable design aspects include a pullrod-operated front suspension and intricate details on the underside of the radiator inlet body profile. Sauber’s choice of a double-floor version and a ‘bump’ on the outer edge of the floor reflects the team’s ongoing aerodynamic development efforts. While some aspects of the design have become standard in Formula 1, Sauber continues to refine its aerodynamic package to enhance airflow and downforce efficiency.
