The Bio

Having enjoyed considerable success in world sportscars, where he helped nurture the emerging talents of future F1 stars Michael Schumacher and Heinz-Harald Frentzen, Peter Sauber guided his eponymous squad into F1 in 1993.

The team has since established itself as a mainstay of the grid, becoming race winners under BMW’s brief ownership, and developing a well-earned reputation not only for producing competitive cars, but also for developing young drivers.

In recent seasons they raced under the Alfa Romeo name – and in 2026 will become the works Audi squad – but for 2024 a new title sponsor brings a new identity to the famous Swiss team.
