Renamed Stake F1 team reveals new logo The former Alfa Romeo Formula 1 outfit has formally changed its name to Stake F1 Team as of January 1 and has unveiled its new logo and social media handles. Author Adam Cooper Updated Jan 1, 2024, 1:01 PM Image Unavailable, Please Login The new identity was originally flagged in the FIA entry last month as Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber. That remains its official full identity – including the Kick Sauber chassis name – but the Swiss outfit will use the short version on a day-to-day basis. The team had to find a new name for the next two seasons after its contract with Alfa Romeo was not extended beyond 2023 ahead of the arrival of full Audi branding in 2026. Stake and Kick, which share common ownership, both featured on the car last season, with the latter taking priority in Australia, Spain, Belgium and Qatar. A special Kick livery was used at Spa. The team is planning a high-profile launch of its new C44 in London on February 5, while rap singer Drake, an ambassador for Stake, was involved in today's social media activities associated with the name change.
There may have been a worse name for an F1 team but I can’t recall one right now…. I like “Drive a Stake in my heart and Kick me to the kerb*” Yeah. That’s good. *British spelling as this is F1.
Edward Craven (born 1995) is an Australian entrepreneur and co-founder of the online casino Stake.com and live streaming platform Kick. Gamer and streamer. Kick is the 'Twitch' alternative it seems. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stake.com - Interesting operation. Suffered a hack via North Korean hack group etc. Gee what could go wrong next lol. Questionable money in F1 again
Was Ferraris car last year THE car? I wonder if they will do that again this year. I really liked it, but unfortunately the car sucked.
That's the annoying part. We may even get digital renders for the launches. When teams say wings and body work are tens, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars. How can they afford a launch car and then a test car 2 weeks later within the budget cap?
For a launch one can make parts via different material/method or just do a slight update to last years car and use the new livery as Remy notes. above.
