Sauber C13

The Sauber C13 was a Formula One car. It was designed by André de Cortanze and Leo Ress for use by the Sauber Team in the 1994 Formula One season. The car was powered by an Ilmor 3.5L V10 engine badged as a Mercedes-Benz. The development of this car signalled Mercedes-Benz's return to Formula One, providing their first engine for an F1 car since 1955. Drivers for the team throughout the season were Karl Wendlinger, Andrea de Cesaris, JJ Lehto and Heinz-Harald Frentzen. Only Frentzen drove for the entire season.

From the Spanish Grand Prix, the car ran with higher cockpit sides after Wendlinger suffered severe injuries in a side-on accident during qualifying at the Monaco Grand Prix which left him in a coma. Higher cockpit sides were later made mandatory for all cars in the 1996 season, and were still in use up to 2017, when they were integrated with the "halo" system.

The C13 raced with Broker as main title sponsor until the 1994 French Grand Prix, when Tissot replaced them on the car.

The C13 was replaced for the 1995 season by the Sauber C14.

gollark: You don't even need that, anyone with an internet connection can just look up the algorithms and some implementations.
gollark: I mean, given that encryption is literally applied maths, you can't possibly stop (O NOES) bad people having access to it, only make it so *normal people* don't have convenient access to good cryptographic stuff and can be spied on easily.
gollark: I'm currently very slowly writing a blog post criticizing governments trying to do stupid things with encryption, but writing is hard.
gollark: You can't magically create a backdoor only accessible by people using it for "good reasons", and I would not trust *anyone at all* with the power to arbitrarily read people's communications.
