C31 top view.




I dont think its the C31.

If that is a true image the sidepods doesnt seem as fat as feared.

And it could confirm that Ferrari engine is very very sleek

Not sure what you mean about the front wing being the right size - looks the same as the 2012 one.

I think the wing is narrower on the blacked out car. On the 2012 car the wing endplates are flush with the wheel. They are not at the blacked out picture. But doesnt look narrow enough. But again its only 75 mm.

does anyone really believe that teams will post there new car in pictures like this? and even if they did make it so easy to see the car by changing the contrast?

If they really wanted to show it but hide it (if that makes sense) they would just delete the blacked out bits of the car so you can adjust it all you like but its not there

The nose seems to be deleted. Thats why I thought it plausible. And it looks like no other previous Sauber to me. The sidepods are too teardrop shaped. Saubers has allways been a bit "flat" at the sides of the sidepods.

that´s an old car with an old front wing.

I guess you're right actually, there is a slight difference. Still, I don't beleive it bares any relationship to the real 2014 car or the real front wing (endplates completely straight).

You never know though

How do you know the endplates are going to be completely straight?

No, I mean the opposite. In the image the endplates are completely straight whereas I'd imagine the teams will be doing a lot more to move the air around the tyres (one way or the other) this year.

They could, of course, have a launch car with a fake fw, but my point was that it doesn't tell us anything interesting.

so, they'll have no floor?

hmmm ain't the c32 either.

[Manoah2u]

so....it looks like it really is the C33 =D> hmmmm any topside views of sutil's seat fitting for comparison?

the front wings show a dead giveaway that it's none of any of the previous contenders. the shape of the flaps are different then other releases.

[xDama]

It's funny how everybody thinks those teasers are actually going to be the real cars. It's about 10 times less work to make it from scratch in Photoshop, than to actually use the real car.

[Manoah2u]

we'll see if the car is presented if it'll actually match.
