The chassis was designed by [Jörg Zander](/source/J%C3%B6rg_Zander), [Luca Furbatto](/source/Luca_Furbatto), [Ian Wright](/source/Ian_Wright_(motorsport)) and [Nicolas Hennel](/source/Nicolas_Hennel) with the car being powered with a customer [Ferrari](/source/Scuderia_Ferrari) powertrain. ## Design and development ### Engine supply The car was originally intended to use an engine supplied by [Honda](/source/Honda_in_Formula_One) until the team underwent a reorganisation of its management structure and the agreement was abandoned.[5] After using year-old Ferrari engines in 2017,[6][7] Sauber renegotiated with Ferrari and secured current-specification engines as part of an agreement with sister marque [Alfa Romeo](/source/Alfa_Romeo_in_Formula_One).[8] ## Season summary Leclerc during the [Spanish Grand Prix](/source/2018_Spanish_Grand_Prix) where he finished tenth Sauber finished the season in eighth in the Constructors' Championship with 48 points. Their best finish in 2018 was sixth place courtesy of Leclerc at the [Azerbaijan Grand Prix](/source/2018_Azerbaijan_Grand_Prix).[9] ## Sponsorship and livery Following the sponsorship agreement with [Alfa Romeo](/source/Alfa_Romeo) which led various insiders, mainly Italians, to colloquially (but improperly) identify the single-seater as "Alfa Sauber", the livery of the C37 abandoned the light blue of the previous seasons and adopted a new colour. The car is mostly white and has a large racing red area in the upper two thirds of the engine cover, which also envelops the air intake. Along the entire length of the car, from the tip of the nose, on the sidepods, up to the rear suspension attachments, there are two thin blue stripes of unequal size, the lower one wider, the upper one narrower; the fin, the bottom and the front and rear wings are black (except for the external parts of the bulkheads of the latter, which are white). Finally, the upper part of the mobile wing of the DRS is white, while the lower one is red and has the word "Alfa Romeo" written in italics. A simplified version of the Alfa Romeo logo stands out on the engine cover, while the [Quadrifoglio Verde](/source/Alfa_Romeo_Quadrifoglio) is present on the side of the air intake. ## Complete Formula One results ([key](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:F1_driver_results_legend_2)) (results in **bold** indicate pole position; results in *italics* indicate fastest lap) Year Entrant Engine Tyres Drivers Grands Prix Points WCC AUS BHR CHN AZE ESP MON CAN FRA AUT GBR GER HUN BEL ITA SIN RUS JPN USA MEX BRA ABU 2018 Alfa Romeo Sauber F1 Team Ferrari 062 EVO P Marcus Ericsson Ret 9 16 11 13 11 15 13 10 Ret 9 15 10 15 11 13 12 10 9 Ret Ret 48 8th Charles Leclerc 13 12 19 6 10 18† 10 10 9 Ret 15 Ret Ret 11 9 7 Ret Ret 7 7 7 † Driver failed to finish the race, but was classified as they had completed over 90% of the winner's race distance. ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** ["Ferrari F1 2018, ecco la SF71H, Arrivabene: «Un pezzo d'eccellenza del made in Italy»"](http://www.corriere.it/sport/18_febbraio_22/presentazione-ferrari-2018-7617128c-17d7-11e8-b6ca-29cefbb5fc31.shtml) (in Italian).
