Goodbye Alfa Romeo, welcome to the stake F1 team, Kick Sauber, 2024
Swiss F1 Team Sauber will become stake F1 team Kick Sauber in 2024, according to the official list of 10 teams registered for next season released by the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) this Friday.
The exact name of the team is still unknown, but it is known that it is set to change as Sauber’s main partner Alfa Romeo has announced its withdrawal from F1 after five years with the Swiss team. .
The Hinwil (Switzerland)-based team will therefore bear the names of two of the sponsors already displayed on the car. One is Stake, his Australian online casino and sports betting site, and the other is Kick, his video streaming service owned by the founders of Stake and Stake. It has 22 million registered users since its launch last year.
According to a team statement, the team will continue to be called Stakes F1 Team Kick Sauber in 2025 and will continue to be powered by Ferrari engines until Audi joins in 2026.
China’s Zhou Guanyu and Finland’s Valtteri Bottas will remain the team’s two F1 drivers next year, while F2 title-winning Frenchman Theo Pulchaire will maintain his role as reserve driver.
