One thing that's really noticable about the BMW Sauber is the lack of car. It's extremely short - wheelbase and overall chassis length. The front wing hardly comes past the front wheels! But that just makes it look compact and, ultimately, fast. To me, at least. :)


Its just stunning, but yes nice and compact, very short in length but very beautiful :yes:

So, Toyota is slated for not changing their livery year after year, yet no one seems to mind BMW basically taking the old BMW.Williams livery to Sauber, adding a bit more white and leaving it unchanged year after year?!

Is it 'cos the BMW Sauber is actually a good looking and fast car?! :rofl:

I'm surprised with this car, I was really expecting a pig ugly beast but it's very attractive, like most of the cars launched so far - only exception being the vulgar Renault!

I'm really looking forward to this season, and am expecting BMW Sauber to be right up the front from the first Qualifying session (and as a Williams fan boy I hate to see the BMW cars do better than the Williams so it hurts to say that).

I don't slate Toyota's livery. I like the fact that they use their national colours.

Similarly, I like how BMW Sauber have used their own company's colours AND their country's national racing colour from times gone. :)

Well BMW have only won 1 race in the three years of being a manufacturer whereas with Williams they were winning races almost from the start of the second year, so really all I can say is that they're on their own. :)

But what I found distasteful was in the Canadian GP when James Allen made Dr Theissen sound like a hero for "the way he pursuaded BMW to split with Williams". Well at least we don't have to listen to that clown anymore.

:clap: Now thats a badarse car!! I'll be rooting for all the underdogs, but BMW is definitely my number 1 team. I think the BMW is the best looking F1 car from the side, now I cant wait for the Red Bull!!!
