"Sauber's Strategic Moves and Legal Battles in F1"

Sauber has made significant changes to its 2024 C44 design, including a shift to a pull-rod front suspension layout, a design favored by Red Bull and McLaren in the current ground effect era for its potential aerodynamic advantages. Despite the mechanical challenges, Sauber's technical director James Key believes the aerodynamic gains outweigh the downsides and expects other teams to follow suit. The decision to move to a pull-rod layout was made before Key joined the team, and he is confident in the team's ability to overcome the mechanical compromises associated with this design.
