Sauber F1 Team

According to MOTORSPORT WEEK, Sauber’s new Chief Operating Officer Mattia Binotto intends to sign F2 rookie and McLaren junior driver Gabriel Bortoleto, pairing him with German driver Nico Hulkenberg for the 2025 season.

The first thing Audi did after fully taking over the Sauber F1 team was to sign German driver Nico Hulkenberg, which suggests that they may not want Finnish driver Valtteri Bottas and Chinese driver Zhou Guanyu.
