Renault & Sauber Car Launch Thread

I hope we can get something different from the Gascoyne lotus.

Yep, Petrov confirmed

Now though we want to see the car

Did not realize Petrov was so much stockier than Kubica. I think he is going to have to slim down a tad.

Definitely a good combination - both are aggressive in thei driving.

Sweeeeeeeeeet!!!

Design wise, it does look a lot more simple than the Sauber

[mac853]

Could somebody tell me why BMW is already pull out from F1, then still calls "BMW Sauber", even the engine and gearbox are Ferrari?

Could anybody explain me, please?

Best regards

Hmmmmm, a rather worrying lack of sponsors for both teams.

Given that BMW Sauber haven't renamed themselves yet, I suspect that title sponsorship negotiations are still ongoing. Are Nestle prepared to go that extra mile and have their name as part of the team name?

I wonder how much BMW has bequeathed to Sauber to keep it going this season. If Sauber did carry on developing over the winter and are now going to go testing presumably they have received some funds from BMW.

I am guessing this has something to do with it. Also, maybe BMW don't want their name associated with specific sponsors so Sauber won't release their final livery before the name change is sorted.

Both cars looks good, in different ways. Seem the airbox fin is the new craze in F1 this year.

Edit: It seems there is some small Japanese sponsor on the rear wing endplates of the Sauber.

renault car: oh la la la la, best looking car of the year so far, still needs a bit of white for some 1980s look, back to the future yes.

Nah - we've seen the mock up already. Nothing spectacular, quite stocky looking.
