Sauber Engineering has unveiled the brand new C44, the Swiss single-seater which will take part in the 2024 Formula 1 world championship under the Stake brand.
After abandoning the Alfa Romeo livery, in Switzerland they have given a total turning point in terms of stage presence, opting for a black-acid green livery that will certainly not struggle to stand out on the grid.
At the wheel we will see the confirmed Valtteri Bottas and Guanyou Zhou, driven by the Ferrari power unit which continues to supply its 1600cc hybrid turbo V6, combined with the energy recovery systems, MGU-K and MGU-H.
To discover all the secrets of the car we invite you to watch the technical explanation video with ours Giorgio Piola and Franco Nugnes, while below you can consult the Technical Data Sheet provided by Sauber for the 2024 C44.
