Sauber has become the first team to officially present its 2017 F🙈1 contender, unveiling the C36 with this year's more striking bodywork and a bold new livery.

In a week that will see all cars revealed before they hit the track in public for the first time on Februa𝕴ry 27th for pre-season testing, Sauber was the first to pull the wraps off its efforts in an online launch.

Though Williams gave a glimpse at the new-look cars over the weekend, the Sauber C36 offers the first details glance at this year's regulation overhaul designed to make the ca♚rs faster in the corners and appeღar more aggressive.

Despite this, Sauber heads into 2017 - its first full season under the stewardship of new owners Longbow Finance - util🐲ising a 2016 Ferrari power unit after opting to focus its efforts and limited resources on the chassis paired with a known quantity.

As well as the new bodywork, the C36 features a 🀅revised livery for 2017, with the recognisable blue and yellow of the past two seasons replaced with a more🧔 discreet blue, white and gold appearance, albeit with notably minimal sponsor branding.

The team features a revised driver line-up with Marcus Ericsson entering into his third season with the team - and his fourth in total - alongside newc💎omer Pascal Wehrlein, who swaps from Manor.

However, Wehrlein will not drive the car at the first test following a back injury sustained over the winter. He is set to be deputised by Ferrari♍ test driver Antonio Giovinazzi.
