That's what you get when you build a car in the basement! Remember Countach Guy?

in fairness, the dude had a lift, but it broke and he didn't fix it for... 30 years...

hydraulics, how the fuck do they work

So I'm seeing the fuel tank at the back, oil tanks over the axle.....and what's the tank between the frame rails next to the transmission?

Nope! I was totally wrong - battery box and tool box over the rear axle, dry sump oil tank close to the engine.

From R & T:

"The name might be changing, but ownership and management will stay the same at the team formerly known as Sauber. The team will continue to use Ferrari engines for the 2019 season, and the team will remain headquartered in Switzerland—not Alfa Romeo's home country of Italy."

"So, the car that Alfa Romeo Racing will field in 2019 will be an Alfa in name only—none of the components on the car will be supplied by Alfa. It's an odd thing for a brand whose cars once represented the best engineering in prewar Grand Prix racing and the very early days of F1. Alfa Romeo won the sport's first two championships with Juan Manuel Fangio driving. But F1 is expensive these days, and this name change provides Alfa Romeo with a way into the top echelon of motorsports."
