One Formula 1 driver was alrea♒dy showing signs of concern on the first morning of preseaso✅n Bahrain testing.

Sauber newcomer 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Nico Hulkenberg was spotted looking sheepish after his first run on Wednesday mor𓄧ning.

Sky S💃ports’ Ted Kravitz reported his telling insights from outside the♋ Sauber garage.

“I hope 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Gabriel Bortoleto✃ has a betteඣr run than Nico Hulkenberg has had this morning,” Kravitz said.

“Because, ꩵif body language is anything 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 Bahrain. Enough time for Hulkenbꦦerg to get out and debrief with his engineer.

𝄹“Optimistically, it looks 🎃like Sauber are steady at the moment.

“There was some attention to the right-hand side of the floor, which some mechanics🌸 have been taking a look at.

“Hul♚kenberg has been talking to Mattia Binotto at the back of the garage,ꦅ giving his debrief.

“Th𒁃ere weren’t many smiles! Rubbing the head, scratching the chin…

“There have been upgrades on the personnel front.

“I can see Giampolo Dall’Ara who I used to see in the Sauber BMW days, for those with a lo🅠ng memory.

“He’s back on the Sau♐ber pit wall. So𓂃 is Inaki Rueda - he was a Ferrari strategist.

“The car? Sauber seems to h🌃ave impr⭕oved, not a huge one.

“There is a different fꦑront wing, the n🌼ose looks the same.

“Obv🉐iously they’ve got a lot of improvement to find.”

Last year, Sauber’s Guanyu Zhou🌼 scored only four points. Valtteri Bottas sc🔯ored none.

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

Sauber 'focus' for F1 2025 identified

Sam Collins expl🃏ained: “Look at Sauber in context. This is their last ye🤪ar in F1.

“Iওt’s a bit sad - they sad Mercedes and BMW backing. Since then they’ve wandered around wꦆith Ferrari power units, never near the front.

“Ne♏xt year they become the Audi Formula 1 team and that’s the focus.

“When I loo💛k at the car, it’s i🥀ncredibly similar to the concept of last year.

“This seꦺason is all about building to next year, that’s what Bino🐷tto is focused on.

“They are going to lose the Ferrari power un♉it. They are doing their own 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 upset being last in the constructors’ midway 🗹next year.

“Yes, they lose money but they can afford it. But it also means you have the bigg⭕est aerodynamic testing allowance for the development of the 2026 car.”
