Executive director of business Toto Wolff said car and its new V6 turbo engine was "the result of several years of intense effort". "But we know that the adventure has only just begun. We have a busy winter testing period ahead of us and a long season where both performance and reliability will be critically important." Paddy Lowe, the team's executive director of technical, said the new engines represent "the biggest change in packaging in Formula One for many years". "There is a lot more equipment to cool: more hybrid systems plus the intercooler for the charge air from the turbocharger. That has both a packaging and an aerodynamic dimension." "With the introduction of a turbocharger, managing the heat around the exhaust system is important for both car integrity and also for performance," he added. "If losses can be minimised in the primaries between the engine block and turbo, that is energy that can be recovered and used for car performance." Weight is also a significant concern, as Lowe explained. "Although the minimum weight has been raised to 691kg, it is far more difficult to achieve than last year's target because of the extra equipment in the power unit and its associated systems, plus the cooling demand and the new, heavier side impact structures prescribed by the FIA."

| Sauber C33: First <b>pictures</b> - F1 Fanatic Posted: 26 Jan 2014 06:29 AM PST 
Sauber have revealed the C33, their new car for the 2014 season. Chief designer Eric Gandelin said the team have focused on developing a car which will permit them "maximum flexibility" under Formula One's new rules. "The radical changes to the technical regulations for 2014 mean that it's even harder than usual to make predictions for the new season," said Gandelin. "We know what kind of package we've put together here, and we are happy with what we achieved, but it is difficult to foresee what shape our rivals are in. The earliest opportunity to gain an impression of where the teams are in relation to one another will come during testing." Gandelin added the team have made reliability a "high priority" when designing the new car as they expect many teams to have problems at the beginning of the season. The team intend to concentrate on reliability in the first test at Jerez next week before introducing performance upgrades for the two Bahrain tests. "The car will be fully functional, but without a number of performance parts, which will be introduced for the two tests in Bahrain," said Gandelin. "On the one hand this gives us time to maximise the development of these performance relevant parts, and on the other hand we can run the car during the first test and check all the systems, which we feel is crucial, considering all the technical changes."  - Sauber C33 side, 2014

Team principal Franz Tost said the team had made their earliest ever start on the new car: "In 2014 the key parameters for success will be finding the best balance between deploying the power of the engine and managing the 100kg fuel limit per race, the use of the two energy recovery systems and, just as in the past, the tyres. "Apart from the new rules, at Toro Rosso we have also had to adapt to a new engine partner and we are looking forward to working with Renault. One final new element for us is on the driver side, as Daniil Kvyat joins us to race alongside Jean-Eric Vergne. Both are very talented and we expect good things from them. "With all these changes, some that affect everyone, others that are specific to Toro Rosso, it is really difficult to set targets or make predictions. However, it is clear we have to improve our performance and make a step forward." See pictures of all the 2014 F1 cars 2014 F1 cars Browse all 2014 F1 cars articles |
