Kick Sauber

Kick Sauber F1 Team (formerly Alfa Romeo Sauber) stands as one of the oldest and most respected outfits on the Formula 1 grid. Founded in 1993 by Peter Sauber out of a small Swiss workshop, it quickly evolved into a talent incubator.

Over the years, it has navigated partnerships with Red Bull, BMW, and most recently Alfa Romeo, re-emerging as Kick Sauber for the 2024 and 2025 seasons. The team is undergoing a significant transition: Audi will become their official works partner starting in 2026, a move supported by fresh investment and leadership changes, including Mattia Binotto and Jonathan Wheatley at the helm.
