Sauber F1 will unveil the C34 on January 30
The Sauber F1 team will present its 2015 car, the C34, this Friday, January 30. This car could herald a change in livery in terms of colors, especially with the arrival of new partners for 2015.
The Sauber F1 team has revealed the unveiling date of its 2015 single-seater, called the C34. It will be this Friday, January 30th, the same day as its engine supplier, Scuderia Ferrari, which will present the SF15-T.
The Swiss team will present its challenger for 2015 online on its website starting at 10 a.m. French time. The car will then be entrusted to Marcus Ericsson – who joined Peter Sauber’s team after a season with Caterham in 2014 – and Felipe Nasr – poached from Williams F1 where he was serving as a test driver – for the first tests at Jerez de la Frontera, which will begin this Sunday, February 1st, at the track located in southern Spain.
The single-seaters of the Hinwill team had taken on a gray hue in recent years but, with the arrival of new drivers, bringing with them new sponsors, the livery of the C34 could be modified. Some observers are predicting a livery with a majority of blue and yellow – the colors of the company Banco do Brasil, which supports Felipe Nasr in particular.
