The Sauber C35 is a Formula One racing car designed by Sauber to compete in the 2016 Formula One season. The car was driven by Marcus Ericsson and Felipe Nasr,^[1] and used the Ferrari 061 power unit.

The chassis was designed by Mark Smith, Eric Gandelin, Elliot Dason-Barber and Seamus Mullarkey with the car being powered with a customer Ferrari powertrain.

Competitiveness

Felipe Nasr driving the C35 at the Austrian Grand Prix

During the first half of the season, the car proved to be less competitive compared to its predecessor due to less development over winter, caused by financial problems of the team.

The team scored its only points of the season during the dramatic Brazilian Grand Prix in very wet conditions. The team also overtook their nearest rivals, Manor, in the constructors' championship when Felipe Nasr crossed the line in 9th, which was enough to give them 10th place in the constructors' championship.

Livery

The livery remained unchanged with a few additional sponsors including CNBC. This was the second and final year for Banco do Brasil sponsorship, prior to Nasr leaving the team.
