Having lost boss Frederic Vasseur to Ferrari, Sauber-run Alfa Romeo now looks set to lose its title sponsor. Both Orlen, a Polish oil company, and its affiliated Polish driver Robert Kubica, are reportedly set to depart the Swiss-based team. However, Italian Alunni Bravi will not actually replace Vasseur as team principal. Instead, he will be ‘team representative’ reporting to new Sauber Group CEO Andreas Seidl. It is believed German Seidl, who left McLaren at the end of last year, wanted to focus more on the team’s forthcoming transition to Audi. It is expected that Seidl will then become team principal in earnest from 2026 – or potentially earlier.
