“Alfa Romeo, the first world champion in F1 history” – Sauber is pleased to continue with the automotive giants as a loyal partner in Formula 1.
Sauber has been in Formula 1 since 1993, making it one of the oldest on the current grid. They have teamed up with Mercedes-Benz, Red Bull, BMW and now Alfa Romeo. The Italians have decided to stay with Sauber for another year. According to Motorsport.com, this pleased Alfa Romeo boss Frederic Vasseur.
“That is crucial for us. I don’t want to talk about the financial side of the matter, although it certainly does matter. But it’s also the motivation a team gets and the fact that you can attract more people and let the company grow for the future. We need that kind of inner motivation. “
“The fact that Alfa Romeo, the first world champion in F1 history, wants to expand our collaboration with us is not only a reward, but also the next step for our company.”
Through its iterations as Sauber Mercedes, Sauber Ford, Sauber Petronas, BMW Sauber and Alfa Romeo, the Swiss F1 team has fielded 30 drivers in Grand Prix races. @ EddstrawF1 ranks all 30: https: //t.co/higZx0ejr2

Alfa Romeo and Sauber are also combining outside of F1
The Swiss and Italian majors also work together on non-F1 projects, which helps strengthen their partnership. Sauber may have had several partners, but having Alfa Romeo, who are like a junior team for Ferrari, is a big challenge.
“We also work together in the automotive sector, which is a good collaboration for us. We developed GTA and GTAm for 2020 in our factory and in the wind tunnel. “
“It is important for us to develop this type of cooperation, even if it is outside of Formula 1. Of course we know that we also have to improve our performance on the track. We not only have to improve our aerodynamic development, but also our global approach. However, the automotive side is crucial if you want to build collaboration between a brand and a Formula 1 team. “
