The so-called filming day with the new cars is not intended to give any team an advantage before the actual start of the season on February 21 with the first official test in Bahrain. Although the distance has been increased from 100 to 200 kilometers, Pirelli is only allowed to give the teams ‘concrete tires’. In Barcelona it’s just a matter of checking all the features.
Sauber is finally prominently represented again
When the bright green car was presented in London, loyal Sauber fans immediately noticed the ‘Sauber’ lettering at the bottom of the nose. During the six years at the Alfa Romeo sham, you had to look for the name of Hinwil’s GP forge. And found it somewhere hidden and small at “Sauber Engineering”.
The new main sponsor Stake (according to the English media with 50 million dollars) is more far-sighted. However, the online gambling provider also causes problems in other areas. The online casino operator is not licensed in Switzerland and is therefore illegal, which is accompanied by an advertising ban. Nevertheless, the lettering is ubiquitous among Hinwil residents. According to SRF, the Federal Casino Commission has therefore opened proceedings against Sauber. There is therefore a risk of a fine of up to 500,000 francs.
Is Sauber threatened with a fine of half a million?
Team representative Alunni Bravi responded calmly to SRF: “We always comply with all applicable laws, including in Switzerland. And of course we have taken all measures to comply with this.” It remains to be seen how the responsible committee sees this.
On a sporting level, Bravi finally threw its perennially wrong predictions (“We will get points in each of the last seven races”) into the trash last winter. «This time we won’t talk about specific goals anymore! But we need to improve the whole package. The work on the track, the pit stops and the race strategy!”
Trade media talk about the bright green Red Bull
The sources of errors were identified in 2023, which was not so difficult. And the C44 has already been given a name by the trade media: the bright green Red Bull, because the front suspension (now tie rod) and the sidepods have also been adapted to the world champion car.
