🏛️Foundation & Early Years
The birth of a racing legend
Sauber was founded by Peter Sauber in 1970 as a sports car manufacturer before entering Formula 1 in 1993. The Swiss team brought precision engineering and innovation to F1, maintaining their independent spirit despite various partnerships and ownership changes, including BMW Sauber and Alfa Romeo eras.
📚Team History & Evolution
Decades of Formula 1 excellence and innovation
Peter Sauber’s roots lie in sports car racing with success at Le Mans and world championships before entering F1 in 1993.
Sauber’s early F1 years included steady development and podium finishes by drivers like Heinz-Harald Frentzen and Johnny Herbert.
The BMW Sauber partnership (2006–2009) marked the team's most competitive era, highlighted by Robert Kubica's race win and consistent podiums.
After BMW withdrew, Sauber returned to independent ownership, partnering later with Alfa Romeo, which brought financial stability and competitive resurgence.
Sauber has a strong reputation for nurturing talent such as Kimi Räikkönen and Charles Leclerc.
The current Stake sponsorship continues the legacy of Swiss engineering excellence and midfield competitiveness under Team Principal Alessandro Alunni Bravi.
