The name Sauber will disappear from Formula 1 again! After partnering with Alfa Romeo, a brand from the FIAT group, at the end of 2017, the Swiss team will officially take on the name of the Italian brand starting from the 2019 Formula 1 season.<\/p>\n
\u00ab After initiating the collaboration with our main sponsor Alfa Romeo in 2018, our team has made excellent progress on technical, commercial, and sporting fronts. This has boosted the motivation of every team member, whether on the track or at the headquarters in Switzerland, as the hard work invested has been reflected in our results. Our goal is to continue developing every sector of our team while allowing our passion for racing, technology, and design to drive us forward. \u00bb stated the team in a press release.<\/p>\n
In 2019, the newly named Alfa Romeo Racing team will field a driver duo consisting of Kimi R\u00e4ikk\u00f6nen, a transfer from Ferrari, and Antonio Giovinazzi, also a member of the Scuderia’s Driver Academy.<\/p>\n
