Last year's livery was pretty nice, I wouldn't change it.

Yeah Lotus look great but the white on Black.......... Uhm no thank you.. IDE love to see Sauber take up less white tho.. And maybe I don't know. Just a better shape to the scheme maybe Chelsea's Blue all over.. It would not be mistaken for the RedBull noboy would think its the STR either I mean Chelsea's on their hood and they really could or they could go Grey with hints of Saubers red from their Logo but hardly any like lotus like them usin very little Gold. I just feel like Sauber being a mid team they should look like one and not like a back marker team he'll Caterham look like propper team.. They don't drive like one but they look great..

I'm not saying they should change their colours tho just maybe make it better that white Center grey front and back looks so simple.. But what ever I just care they build a great car for Hulk and Esteban..

I'm not liking Hulk's helmet. I think he will do well in the new car. He has some speed in him.

Both are pretty simple... I was looking at the Car and I really think that the C-32 is incredible and that Hulk has got the right tools to end up in a top team next season.

We might see Lotus need a new driver if Grosjean doesn't improve. Ferrari need a new number 2. Maybe Mark Webber dropped and Hulk can go form Team Germany with Vettel. That would be interesting and not to hard to accept for the Asutrian team.

This season clearly at Sauber it's Hulk that must set the pace he has been given the right tools to do it with and a team that supports him. It's Estebans job to learn quickly catch up and stay as close to Hulk as he can..

This crossed my mind as well, after comparing the sidepods and noses of the C32 and RB9.

Hulk didnt show the C-32 as stronger then the Force India. Or radicly better then the C-32 I was expecting more from hulk..

It´s testing....

-
If the car is genuinely quick on any given day, Hulkenberg will showcase that, no doubt about it.

They're just testing all sort of things at the moment. Fast times mean nothing. The C-32 I think is very good. But we ll only see in Australia.

Autosport is reporting the following:
Sauber head of vehicle dynamics Pierre Wache is set to join Red Bull. Wache is still officially a Sauber employee, but a spokesperson confirmed to AUTOSPORT that he “will leave the company in the near future”. Former Red Bull man Ben Waterhouse, who moved to Sauber three years ago, has held Wache’s old Sauber role since January 1.
