Check out the front wing, that white makes it look like it was picked out of a scrap yard!

Looks like they've borrowed one of Stewarts old noses, that's all!


Apart from that, another predictable Sauber livery...

The car has been powered by a second had Ferrari since 97, and it has'nt brought them much succes, and it does'nt look like the car has changed much, so........

And the same goes for Prost, a fast engine does oet make a fast car.

I dislike the white front end, but the rest of the colour scheme is pretty nice, though in a very predictable Sauber way, as Sparky pointed.

I love the new C20! The nose is a poor job done yes but the rest of the car is fantastic! So are the drivers!

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING ON THE FRONT OF THE CAR??? Looks like the Sauber budget didn't allow for enough paint to finish the car. Aside from the horrendous nose, the car is, as ever, a beauty.

GO KIMI!!!

Why such a negative response?

The front wing is pretty awful with all that white, but apart from that I think it looks great.

Yeah, the Sauber always looks very good and it does this year. Apart from the white blob at the front. That is just rediculous and ugly.

They just can't get rid of that ugly white nose cone. It would negate all the money spent by the sponsor to do the psychological studies as to why their corporate logo looks best over white. Or maybe Sauber knows that white paint weighs 0.024mg less per L than blue! Now you know why the BAR is mostly white. Information deemed unreliable but not accurate.

It may be ugly but no one will ever forget "Credit Suisse". Advertising job accomplished, it is permanently burned onto my retinas. It sort of looks like the "Dunkin' Donuts" scheme doesn't it? If you were Mr. Sauber would you have OK'd something as ugly as that front nose? I think not.

Credit who?

Actually, I think if it was just the nosecone, and not the rear half of the wing that was white, it would look a lot less... 'heavy'.

Just my 'too sense'...

Just paint the nose in dark blue and have a very pretty car.
Maybe they should down the nose to make it similar to a furious bull???

Hello race poeple... I on the other hand ..LOVE the way the car looks....The white nose is so that Jordan can get out of the way..... Have you seen the BAR....Wonderful...Panis is fantastic!

I agree with Sparky. If that part of the wing hadn't been white, then I think the white on the nose would look better. Apart from that, it looks pretty much like what we've been used to from Sauber. Beautiful.

Well, nice looking car, bland livery ruined by that white blob. Maybe I'm the only one who isn't bored with Jordan-esque anthropomorphism, but don't you think they could incorporate that red bull a little more dramatically into the paint scheme?? I think it would liven it up a little to have a giant bull across the side, or on the nose cone... or have I been using too much of the said product???
