Alfa Romeo returns to F1 as title sponsor of Sauber F1 Team

Alfa Romeo and the Sauber F1 Team have entered into a partnership that marks the return of the Italian brand to Formula 1 after an absence of more than 30 years.

From the 2018 season onwards, the team will be called as the Alfa Romeo Sauber F1 Team. The cars will get a new livery incorporating distinctive colours and the Alfa Romeo logo.

Alfa Romeo will be the team’s main title sponsor. The multi-year agreement signed by the two parties includes strategic, commercial and technological cooperation in areas of development and access to the engineering know-how of Alfa Romeo’s technical team.

The Sauber F1 team has had a terrible 2017 season. The team finished last in the World Constructor’s Championship scoring just 5 points. The poor performance can be attributed to the fact that the team was forced to use the 2016 Ferrari power units that were down on performance compared to the latest engines. This is set to change as the Alfa Romeo Sauber F1 team will be using the 2018 Ferrari power units in their cars for the next season.
