A little teaser image before tomorrow's launch. Looks like there will be a slight change in livery.

(Yeah, the joke was stupid but how stupid is to publish an out-offocus pic as a teaser?) They are Sauber for Georgesake, no way any teaser is going to create any tension among F1 followers because, basically, nobody gives a Sh#t about their cars anymore

With some of the moves Kobayashi and Pérez have made during their careers, I have to wonder if this is just a representation of how they see the world.
You'd think a team hurting for sponsors so badly as Sauber has been for years wouldn't be blurring logos.
EDIT: I had to change "often wonder" to "have to wonder" because quite honestly I don't wonder about this often. In fact, I've never wondered about it. I was just trying to make a joke about Pérez. It wasn't even a good one. Did Pérez even do anything dumb in F1? Or GP2? I don't remember. Just show me the car.

“We keep on working, we do our thing,” Vettel shouts over the team radio, “We are who we are!”
"Vettel is a champion. That’s not referring to his achievements, but rather to his approach to everything he does. He wins. All the time. His preparation is meticulous, his attention to detail reminiscent of Michael Schumacher at his peak, and his performance on the track is almost always flawless. Vettel is capable only of domination. He knows no other way... Vettel is not in Formula One to be liked. He is there to win. And in the words of Ayrton Senna, perhaps the greatest of all Formula One drivers, “Nice men don’t win.”"

That may be true, but if we went on teams who people "care" about, we'd probably end up with an 8 car grid. Know what I prefer.
I'm a fan of Perez and I admire Kobayashi's driving style. I support Ferrari, Schumacher and Vettel, but I'm interested to see how Toro Rosso and Sauber do this year as they both have driver line ups I like.
I really wish Sauber would change the grey for blue and go for a more Telmex inspired livery, something like this:

Looks quite nice actually. There's quite a bit of detail in the engine cover and side pods going on. It would look even nicer if they carried the line of the nose from the top of the bump to the tip...form side on as it blends with the trye tangent it would look great, and still be within the rules.

They will as soon as Telmex writes them a big enough check.
