The Sauber-run Alfa Romeo F1 Team have come a long way in the last six years. In 2017, the car was devoid of sponsors and traipsing around at the back of the field. Fast forward to today and the Swiss squad founded by Peter Sauber has made itself a solid midfield contender with a slick red-and-black liveried car that boasts 44 partners.
It's an impressive turnaround, which started with Peter Sauber’s decision to sell the company to Longbow Finance, led by Swedish billionaire Finn Rausing, to secure the team’s long-term future.
