Sauber C30 Ferrari

- Twin deflectors under the nose, first set looks more like shields and the second ones fan out heavily.
- Twin break ducts
- Square sidepod inlets (ala McLaren)

Is that pullrod at the rear? And another platypus nose a la Merc, albeit with a far less aggressive v-nose.

Yes, it is pullrod

I would say it is push rod.

No most definitely push rod.

[bjpower]

looks like most of the cars will be platypus noised, 0 undercut and square side pod inlets.

Push-rod:

Pfft, this argument is so 2010. Everyone will be copying lotuses "air-rod" solution for this yea.

PS Definately push rod

LOL..."air rod"

This little air inlet inside the right hand side sidepod, may it be for KERS battery cooling?

Air rod for life!

Ps: if Mike G. knew that we are laughing about his car he would kill us all.

Air rod certainly looks the most aero efficient solution. The cars aero looks so clean now they've been able to eliminate that unsightly control rod.

KERS Cooling duct in Left-hand sidepod.

Soon we will see someone called "the rottweiler" in this forum.. beware

Definite convergence in design this year.... boo hiss.

But again the car looks good. Still pull rod at the back.

I think there is still enough left unseen that we can't say everything is converging. There is the adjustable rear-wing, KERS, and the whole rear-end for most of the cars still "unknown". Hopefully those design features will continue to be differentiating and keep the innovation and the competition interesting.

Sauber covered their diffuser. Nice pics at www.sutton-images.com

The car has a very aggressive rake in it's stance, especially compared to last year.

It's possible there is no engine in the photo model, which would see the back sitting rather high up.
