Kick Sauber have confirmed that Alessandro Alunni Bravi will leave his position as Team Representative and Managing Director at the end of January 2025.
After first joining the squad in 2017 as General Counsel and Board Member, Alunni Bravi became Managing Director in 2022 – focusing on marketing, communications, sales and other departments – before taking the position of Team Representative in 2023 in all official functions at race weekends and away from the track.

Now the Italian is set to move onto new projects and admitted in a statement that seeing his journey with the team come to an end has been “emotional”.
“Since I joined in 2017, I have seen this team grow and change beyond what anyone could have imagined,” said Alunni Bravi. “This organisation went through exciting and difficult times alike, all without ever losing its spirit and its commitment, which is something I find inspiring, and I was proud of being able to represent the team as its public face in the last two years.
“As I move on to a new project, I want to thank Finn Rausing, all those who put so much trust and faith in me at Sauber and Audi, and all the colleagues I have been working with for the last eight years. This team is a family and has a bright future ahead.”

Mattia Binotto, Chief Operating and Chief Technical Officer at Sauber Motorsport, commented: “Having worked closely with him in the months since my arrival to Hinwil, I want to pay tribute to Alessandro, a true team player who came to embody the essence of Sauber throughout the years.
“Alessandro played a wide range of roles within the team, steering it through difficult and exciting times alike. As he moves onto a new venture, the whole company would like to thank him for all his energy and contributions over the years and wish him the best for the future.”
The news marks another change for Kick Sauber ahead of their transition into becoming Audi’s works outfit in 2026.
As well as developments in the wider structure, the squad will field an all-new driver line-up in 2025, with Nico Hulkenberg joining from Haas and rookie Gabriel Bortoleto making the step up after winning the 2024 Formula 2 championship.
