One Formula 1 🌱driver was already showing signs of concern on the first morni♉ng of preseason Bahrain testing.

Sauber newcomer 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Nico Hulkenberg 🐭was spotted looking sheepish after his fir🔥st run on Wednesday morning.

Sky Sporꦏts’ Ted Kravitz reported his telling insights from outside the 🐻Sauber garage.

“I hope 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Gabriel Bortoleto has a better run than Nico Hulkenberg has had this mꦦorning,” Kravitz said.

“Because, if body language is anꦜything to go by, and I’ve followed Hulkenberg’s entire F1 career, he hasn’t♓ had the most happy session.

“He’s just got out of the car. It looks like they’re breaking for an early lunch, an hour-and-a-half before the break in Bahrai🀅n. Enough time for Hulkenberg to get out and debrief with his engineer.

“Optimistically, it looks liꦺke Sauber are steady at the momeꩵnt.

“There was s🥂ome attention to the right-hand side of the floor, which some mechanics h🐓ave been taking a look at.

“Hulkenberg has been talking to Mattia Binotto at the back of the garage, gi💛ving h🐼is debrief.

“There weren’t many smile𒉰s! Rubbing the head, scratching the chin…

“There have been upgrades on the personnel front.

“I can see Giampolo Dall’Ara w🍰ho I used to see in the Sauber BMW days, for those with a long memory.

“He’s back on the Sauber pit wall. So is Inaki Rueda - he was a Ferrari strateཧgist.

“The car? Sauber seems to have improved, not a 💞hu⛄ge one.

“There i🐈s a diffe♏rent front wing, the nose looks the same.

“﷽Obviously they’ve got a lot of improvement to find.”

L🦩ast year, Sauber’s Guanyu Zhou scored 🔜only four points. Valtteri Bottas scored none.

The team have changed both drivers for 2025, their last year before evolving into Aౠudi.

Sauber 'focus' for F1 2025 identified

Sam Collin🍸s explained: “Look at Sauber in 𝕴context. This is their last year in F1.

“It’s a bit sad - they sad Merc✤edes and BMW backing. Since then they’ve wandered around with Ferrari power units, never near the front.

“Next yea𝓡r they become 🌊the Audi Formula 1 team and that’s the focus.

“When I look at the car, it’s incredibly similar🤡 to the♓ concept of last year.

“This seไason is all about building to next year, that’s what Binotto ꦉis focused on.

“They are going to lose the Ferrari power𓆏 unit. They are doing their own𓂃 transmission - the reason is to build their own gear boxes when they have the Audi power unit next year.

“Being last in the constructors’ last year? They won’t be too 𓆏upset being last in the constructors’ mid𒉰way next year.

“Yes, they lose money but they can afford it. But it also means you have the biggest aerodynamic testing allowance💜 for the development of t♋he 2026 car.”
