Alfa Romeo and Sauber to keep fighting for ambitious results as Alfa Romeo Racing

The 2019 Formula One World Championship will see two of the most historical brands in motorsport - Alfa Romeo and #sauber - return to circuits across the globe with 2007 World Champion Kimi Räikkönen and the young Italian Antonio Giovinazzi driving for Alfa Romeo #racing, formerly referred to as the Alfa Romeo #sauber #F1 Team.

 

Just one year after it was founded on the 24th June 1910, Alfa Romeo made its debut in an official #competition, winning the first Regularity Race in Modena. Since then, its sporting legend has been a string of victories and top-three finishes in many international championships, including Formula One. In 2019, the cars of Alfa Romeo #racing will sport the time-honoured four-leaf clover emblem that since 1923 has identified the fastest Alfa Romeo models.

 

The long-term partnership between Title Sponsor Alfa Romeo and #sauber was initiated in 2018. Over the past year, the Team made continuous progress and finished the championship in 8th place. The term of the collaboration has been further extended, with the ownership and management of #sauber remaining unchanged and independent. As Alfa Romeo #racing, the goal continues to be the achievement of ambitious results at the pinnacle of motorsport.

 

Frédéric Vasseur, Team Principal Alfa Romeo #racing:

"It is a pleasure to announce that we will enter the 2019 Formula One World Championship with the Team name "Alfa Romeo Racing". After initiating the collaboration with our Title Sponsor Alfa Romeo in 2018, our team made fantastic progress on the technical, commercial, and sporting side. This has given a boost of motivation to each team member, be that track-side or at the headquarter in Switzerland, as the hard work invested has become reflected in our results. We aim to continue developing every sector of our team while allowing our passion for #racing, technology and design to drive us forward".

 

Mike Manley, CEO FCA:

"Alfa Romeo #racing is a new name with a long history in Formula One. We're proud to collaborate with #sauber in bringing Alfa Romeo's tradition of technical excellence and Italian panache to the pinnacle of motorsport. Make no mistake: with Kimi Räikkönen and Antonio Giovinazzi on one side of the pit wall and Alfa Romeo and #sauber expertise on the other, we are here to compete".
