the sauber 2010 car launch thread thing *SPOILERS*

[subwayandoreos]

im thinking body and areo will be very close to last years bmw. so it will be ugly
but paint job: im guessing black or/and turquoise with some red for Ferrari.
the obly sponsor i know of is that japanise hair shampoo company.

[Mannginger]

I'm confused as to why you've got *Spoilers* in the thread title?

[RobFerrari]

Personally doubt it will be blue/turquoise, that was mainly down to being sponsored by Petronas but as we know they are now with Mercedes. Black is possible, but I think Virgin Racing might have black cars with elements of red. Maybe a white car?

Anyway not long till launch now, 13:30 UK time - is it being broadcast online does anyone know?

[subwayandoreos]

i know of some people who want to wait till march to see the cars.

Cheers anyway, just been reading the launch press release, doesn't look like there is any official live coverage.

Just seen on twitter, looks like the car could be white with red.

It was posted by @dank_ross , a really good motorsport tweeter.

I really like that (awaiting proper photos), looks really nice - well sculpted around the back and has the tail fin too. Hope it goes well for Sauber.

[subwayandoreos]

you cant ignore the fact they have no sponsors, and the nose seems higher than the cockpit :S

just noticed certiantina on the wing mirror

Looks a good car, dont forget developed with a big budget from BMW so might go like stink but i would expect the team to fade as the year goes on.

[subwayandoreos]

expect scalp-d to appear on the car somewhere

and look at WHEELS! matchbox or what!

hmmm, looks more like certaintina watches to me



classy logo

[FourWheelDrift]

I would have expected Repsol to have been on there, even a tiny sticker.

[subwayandoreos]

looks quite revolutionary
i love those wheels

[ajprice]

Drivers nametags in sponsor positions is a bit silly looking, even if they are short on sponsors. Wouldn't a big Sauber logo have looked better?

[zac510]

Must have found heaps of white left over up the back of the BMW factory

Looks pretty damn good to me actually, love the front wing hangers and the sidepod curves. Shame they'll have to cover it up with sponsor stickers
