Sauber reveals one-off livery for this weekend's Las Vegas Grand Prix

Ahead of the third US race of the season, Formula One's only Swiss outfit Kick Sauber have revealed a special flame-inspired livery for this weekend’s Las Vegas Grand Prix.

With the 2024 F1 season approaching its final leg, Sauber is the only team yet to score a single point this year, having struggled for pace both in qualifying and race trim all through the campaign.

The Swiss outfit has now revealed a one-off livery which has been designed in collaboration with its title sponsor Stake. The team noted that the flame-inspired livery displays the “unwavering spirit”, and claims that colour scheme shows that it "doesn’t give up until the very end, no matter what challenges are thrown in front of it”.

“Just as flames flicker and blaze without ceasing, our fiery determination burns bright across every lap”, read Sauber's statement.

Speaking of the livery, Sauber's team representative Alessandro Alunni Bravi noted: “Stake has always helped us create some impressive one-off designs and this is no different.

“Our special livery for Las Vegas is more than just a design – it’s a representation of our team’s ethos and of Stake’s philosophy. We push forward with relentless passion, just as this city does, and we’re excited to showcase our fiery spirit on one of the most thrilling stages in motorsport.”

In addition, the race suites of the team's two driver Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu will be adorned by flames with the theme also displayed across the team’s garage.

The Hinwil-based outfit has recently confirmed that it will part ways with Bottas and Zhou, with Nico Hulkenberg and Gabriel Bortoleto set to join the outfit ahead of its transition into Audi's works squad.
