Read our privacy policy Alfa Romeo have changed their name ahead of the new Formula 1 season, with the Sauber-works team agreeing a new sponsorship deal with Australian streaming platform Kick.com. Yet with two years to go until German giant Audi officially takes over the team – which has been on the grid since 1993 – Sauber have a new, lengthy official title for the 2024 season. The team will officially be known as Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber, with the new sponsor securing chassis naming rights.
