Will Sauber be called Sauber again next year? It's possible but not save to say. Alfa Romeo definitely won't continue as a name sponsor for Sauber in 2024, so Sauber has to look for alternatives. Beat Zehnder now said that it will be possible that the name Sauber returns to F1. They'd be looking for a new title-sponsor, but it's also a possibility that the team will be called Sauber for the next two years, until it will be the works team of Audi in 2026. Zehnder also said that maybe they'll even find a title-sponsor that insists that the name Sauber will be kept besides their own name and that they (Sauber) would be very happy about it. So we'll have to wait how the team from Hinwil will be called for the next two seasons.
A great read. Here are just 2 quotes from Charles to get you started:
“I call my engineers quite a lot. I speak to them after the races, on Monday or Tuesday, to do a point on the last Grand Prix and to speak about the next race and find out if we have any upgrades. I ask them what I can do better, what I can improve and if my way to work with them is OK. We speak a bit about everything.”
“I think quite a lot when I’m driving. It’s very important for me to think how the car is behaving, and how I would like it to behave and how to drive with the car behaving the wrong way. Actually, there is a lot going through my head when I’m driving.”
The FIA has published the official entry list for next years F1 season. And on that list, the former Alfa Romeo team is called 'Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber'. Also, rumours say, the team will officially race under the name of 'Kick Formula 1 Team Sauber' at some races.
Next years chassis will be called 'KICK Sauber C44'.
The new name of Alpha Tauri isn't known yet, the team is still called Alpha Tauri on the entry list. Only difference is that it has an RB at the end of it's name.
And Cognizant isn't title sponsor of Aston Martin anymore.
