Pre-Season 2013 Car Launches

[Slyboogy]

I expected a few more stepped noses to not be covered. Seems so far only 1 out 4 hasn't covered the step nose.

I really like the look of the Ferrari nose! Almost like Cleopatra

 

[Chad Stewarthill]

Yeah look, it's the spitting image!

Is this "snow plow" under the Ferrari in readiness for Sochi?

So far McLaren looks to have the most impressive car. There was lots of detail hidden on the McLaren, i.e. lots of bits that they will add for testing, plus the gains they have made, they sounded very confident about. I just cannot see this Ferrari becoming a pace setter - it will be better, but I think at best it will be on level terms with McLaren and RBR, but much more likely it will lag behind.

I know everyone will say it hasn't even hit the track yet and will be completely different in Barcelona, but these are just my initial thoughts and seem to be shared by the likes of Gary Anderson, Craig Scarborough, Mark Gillan, etc.

Now lets wait and see what Newey surprises us all with.

The thrill of the Sauber launch before the bulls on Sunday.

time of launch is 12 noon CET which is 11am in the UK I think.

 

[Brogan]

How odd that they have named it the Sauber C32-Ferrari

The official constructor name is of course Sauber-Ferrari but I have never seen a team refer to the engine in the chassis name before.

Front end of the Ferrari looks very clean.......about 6 tenths quicker already.

 

[rufus_mcdufus]

Is that 6/10s on top of Fernando's 6/10s? They should walk it this year!

 

[Kewee]

rufus_mcdufus.......You got it in one. Hahaha .

Grabs from the Sauber launch. Narrow side pods and Grey colour and hidden scooped step.

 

[Jos the Boss]

Radical livery, reminds me of the 2010 HRT colours

 

[Greenlantern101]

Those side pods do look much smaller than normal. Makes me wonder if they are going to have over heating issues at the hotter races.

 

[Jos the Boss]

Someone agrees with me! The HRT's better looking older sister- @wtf1couk on twitter

 

[teabagyokel]

It is a much better grey than the camouflage HRT of 2010 and far cooler than Sauber's previous efforts. Last year's livery was abysmal!

Anyway, they could have played up the Chelsea connection and come up with something in the colours of this third kit:

Historical Football Kits

So thank heavens they didn't!

No, I think their new livery gets a thumbs up from me!

Sauber is looking good.

Curious for the new Red Bull. Just read it's gonna be purple or has purple accents.
