Looks like the HRT in both colour and number of sponsors.

I see the commercial department spent the last 6 months scratching their arses.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

It was an exaggeration, but if you took them all out you would be left with NEC, Chelsea, Certina, Emil Frey and Oerlikon, all of whom have tiny logos in not very prominent places.

Makes you wonder what would have happened if they had turned around and told Slim that, actually, they didn't want Gutierrez breaking every front wing in the shop this year.

This might be one of my favorite teams on the grid.
Always loved Hulkenberg and Gutierrez and the car looks hot (although I can see why people compare it to the HRT).

Looks better on the HQ pictures. On the low quality it looks like the trash-can grey they had on the HRT.

Frijns role must be big if he isn't even invited to the car's launch or when they doesn't even bother to include him in the PR pictures.

One of the best liveries I have ever seen. I'm in love with this car 8)

So far, for moi:
Sauber>>>Force India>Ferrari>>Mclaren>>>Lotus with their red ruining livery and horrible step nose

never liked those Red Bull liveries.

For me this Sauber livery is their best ever, tied with the very beautiful ones(and I know most people dislike it, but that was a tast classic white mixed with a nice blue) from the BMW days.

Possibly!

Some of the sponsors Sauber run don't want public visibility. They will use sponsorship and association with the team for internal purposes only.
