MOTORSPORT fans are split like never before – after a new team’s F1 car labelled a “cross between a ninja turtle and transformer”. Sauber say the C44 car is “a marked departure from its predecessor” with a “slew of changes”. As well as all that, Sauber are promising “important updates” early in the season, which starts in Bahrain on March 2. Another said: “This could very well be one of the most awful-looking F1 cars to ever exist.”. But if Sauber went shopping for compliments they would find praise such as: “Looks like the way I do my liveries on the F1 game. “Looks great, I really like it,” said another admirer.
