With 2024 having officially begun, the Sauber group has revealed the new name for their team and has set it as ‘Stake F1 team.’ All that they have done with their new name is take the last two words out and this has not really sat well with the fans of the F1 all over the world.

And secondly, both of their current drivers (Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu) F1 contracts are coming to a close at the end of this year. keeping all these things in view, the Stake F1 team will have several eyes glued on them during the record-breaking 24-race campaign.

Moreover, it has also come to light that the Stake F1 team name is going to stick for the 2024 and 2025 seasons. Because from 2026 onward Audi will take over and most probably, change the name of the team as per their liking. Audi is expected to make a mega entry into the sport in 2026.
