Mechanical compromises forced by a Red Bull-style pull-rod front suspension have not stopped Sauber being convinced it is “absolutely” the right thing for its new Formula 1 car.

As part of a push to be more aggressive with its 2024 C44 design, Sauber has made some extensive changes to the car that Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu will race this season. One of the most intriguing design shifts is in its suspension layout, with the squad changing to the kind of pull-rod front suspension layout that Red Bull and McLaren have exclusively put to good use in the current ground effect era.

” Sauber C44 Photo by: Sauber F1 Team Key said making the move away from a well-known push-rod concept was not straightforward, but he reckoned his team had the ability to overcome any downsides. “The actual challenge, once you get your aerodynamics to work around it, is to overcome all the mechanical compromises,” he said. “I think we've got a couple of steps we need to do, because it is tough to do that, but they've done a great job as a first ever attempt at Sauber at a pull-rod.
