Stake F1 Team will be the day-to-day name of Sauber’s 2024 Formula 1 entry.
This season, the team previously listed as ‘Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber’ will be known under a new identity. On New Year’s Day, they announced that they will be partnering exclusively with betting brand Stake for the 2024 and 2025 seasons, taking over from Alfa Romeo. In 2026, when the new F1 regulations are implemented, the team will once again transform, this time into Audi. Audi aims to make a significant impact, not only as a team but also as a power unit manufacturer. For the current year, Stake F1 Team will be their official name, with Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu as their drivers. As Audi’s arrival nears, there will be increasing scrutiny on the drivers’ performance. Last year, Alfa Romeo finished ninth in the constructors’ championship, while Bottas placed 15th and Zhou 18th in the drivers’ standings. The new identity and the promise of bigger things in 2026 bring renewed hope for Stake F1 Team in 2024.
