Sauber C44 Speculation Thread

Showcar or real car in launch livestream?

Looks kinda real deal.

Half half, front and rear wings are for show, but the car is real I think, big undercut.

Showcar with an ugly a** livery. Minecraft car.

Agreed. Wings are cosmetic - probably floor also. But the bodywork eg sidepods looks legit

Nah, the floor is more fake than a 3 dollar bill and the sidepod is way too simplistic. This is the showcar with some fake bodywork on.

Alright, maybe with those new pictures the sidepod looks real.

Pulrod front and pushrod rear suspension.

Pulrod front and pushrod rear suspension.

Yep. Same as Rb and McLaren

Sidepod inlets and undercut profile just very RB19

Going to need a different color flow-vis at the Bahrain test.

I guess it's expected for others to copy RB who seemed to nail the formula

However it should be noted that Sauber already ran pushrod rear suspension since 2022. So it's only the front where there's change

According to Formu1a.uno there are huge changes compared to the 2023 car.

James Keys confirms once again that the main reason behind the switch to pull rod front suspension is purely aero.

I think it looks cool.
Last year they had some fake features in their renderings just to keep in mind
