According to posts on their twitter, its not the real car just a "fake reveal".

It has a CNN sponsoring, of course it's fake. Wake up, people!

That looks very much like the MP4-21/22s of 2006 and 2007, apart from a slightly different front wing, winglets and paint job.

Yep, It's fake:

So, will Pirelli arrange another wet weather test? Although I doubt that would help Pirelli at all. It will be a chaos anyway if Melbourne happens to be wet.

is that hard to fit grooves on a hard compound? just leave this way and let teams setup aerodynamics and suspension for wet weather

The new 2017 Sauber C36

2017, more like 2016 with a sharkfin, yawn.

Now we're talking, that's some batshit crazy weird awesomeness. I like that they went for something different this year.

But I did think that after the 2010 Mercedes these kind of airbox entries were forbidden?

I very very much like that shade of blue. Looks great with the white contrast. But the shark fin needs the same colour treatment. And that rear wing looks like an A1GP rear win from 2005

Sauber channelling the spirit of Prost Grand Prix, colour-wise.

small openings in the sidepods.

And kinda sad they have the 25 years so big on the sides instead of a proper sponsor. I'm still fearing for their future.

I was gonna say they're channelling the spirit of Prost Grand Prix, but not just color-wise.

Shark fin looks as crap as they did when they were last allowed in 2010.

Sauber needs gold wheels. See Proof:

You got there before I did.

I swear the Manor had more sponsors on it last year than this Sauber does.

It has as many sponsors as Sauber did back in 1993, so entirely appropriate for its 25th anniversary.

LucasWheldon · PostPosted: Mon Feb 20, 2017 4:20 pm

the livery looks great, it just need a good sponsor like some money laundering company for a proper backmarker

Didn't they have a lot of (secret) Mercedes backing back then?

Also, Sauber's current budget would probably make them one of the best, if not the best, funded teams on the grid in 1993.
