Italian Alessandro Alunni Bravi has been given a senior leadership role with the Alfa Romeo/Sauber team, which will become Audi in 2026. The role is reflective of Seidl’s decision to set Sauber/Alfa Romeo up with a structure different from other F1 teams. There will be no formal team principal role; instead leadership will be split three ways. It is a role that carries responsibilities similar to those of a team principal, but he sits alongside the sporting and technical directors in the structure rather than above them as would be more typical. The team is in the process of transforming into Audi’s assault on the F1 World Championship. A spokesperson said that, as yet, the team ownership had not changed.
