Meet the C44

The Stake F1 Team KICK Sauber C44, to give its full name, is the team's challenger for 2024. It is virtually a completely new car, with just a few carry-over areas at the rear of the car compared with its predecessor, the C43. The car, the fruit of months of design, analysis and production work, is an ambitious undertaking, with several new elements that are the result of bold choices by the technical team.

A BOLD NEW DIRECTION

The 2024 car features a redesigned front suspension, which went from push-rod to pull-rod in a bid to improve the car's aerodynamic efficiency. This is complemented by an aggressive approach to bodywork and the floor, crucial areas to generate performance, and several new upgrades underneath the car's skin (and away from our competitors' eyes).

DEVELOPMENT NEVER STOPS

The team's bid to improve the C44 never stops. An ambitious investment in the team's capabilities means the technical department was able to plan a busy schedule of upgrades for the car. In a world of fine margins and incremental gains, this approach will allow the team to remain competitive throughout the season - ready to unleash the power of the C44.
