The Alfa-Romeo Sauber C37 is comfortably the most improved car of the season. At Melbourne for race one, it was the slowest qualifying car of all, around 0.1s adrift of Williams. By Sochi, at 2s faster than the Williams, it was able to win the unofficial ‘best of the rest’ class behind the big three, with Haas driver Kevin Magnussen reckoning that the Sauber was ‘way too fast’ for him to compete with. This was especially significant for two reasons: 1) The Haas has usually been the fastest of the second group of cars this season, qualifying directly behind the leading three teams of Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull in nine of the 17 events to date. 2) The Haas and Sauber are identically powered, illustrating that the Swiss team have made very significant aerodynamic gains through the season.
