Renault & Sauber Car Launch Thread

[DazzlaF1]

Well tomorrow, were due to see the new Renault in all its yellow and black glory but also Sauber are due to show off their new car too.

I know there are rumours that Sauber had signed a deal with Nestle and that as a result, they would run the colours of Nestle's coffee brand Nespresso. Linked with that, i found this mock up

After the amazing looking 25 I'm not sure my weak heart can take anymore!

It is certainly going to be an interesting day. Although we pretty much know the drivers by now, both teams have a new identity and possibly a new livery for this season. It will also be interesting to see, which sponsors have either been capable of attracting after strong suspicions that both teams might lack cash.

The Sauber mockup looks brilliant, was hoping they'd go the Blend 37 route but beggars can't be choosers.

As for the Renault, supposadly the following images were found hidden on the Renault F1 site.

Sauber especially, it'll be interesting to see from the car if Kobayashi has brought Panasonic backing with him.

Oh, another flash from the past! Hope that the Renault is reminiscent of the late 70s/early 80s livery. That would be sweeeeet!

If the Renault is "back to the future" it would surely not be permanent? The team would be trying to sign a team sponsor.

So even if it is in Renault colors - by the time Sakhir is run it could well not be.

I agree. I doubt Renault will be willing or able to run without branding for more than a short time. If we do see the yellow and black it might be short lived.

As for the Sauber, there's been a terrible lack of baby-poo-brown cars in F1 and it's good to see somebody doing something about!

I didn't realise you were such an expert in baby turds!

Does anyone know what time the Launchers are?
