Stake F1 Team KICK Sauber will go racing in Las Vegas in a new “flaming hot” special livery that reflects the teams’ unwavering spirit and determination in the face of the challenge this year has presented, according to their statement.
The team are the only Constructor on the grid yet to score a point this season after they’ve faced significant challenges in harnessing performance from their C44 car. If they finish the year this way they’ll become the first team to go point-less over a season since Williams in 2020.
With just three races remaining to change this, the team are embodying the “energy, excitement, and intensity” of Las Vegas with flames on their car’s livery, the drivers’ suits and the garage design – calling back to the rich history and spirit of the city.
But the meaning also goes deeper as it intends to symbolise how the team have approached this difficult season with “fiery determination” that “burns bright across every lap”.
Team Representative, Alessandro Alunni Bravi, said in a statement; “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.”
This weekend represents the first of three final chances for Stake to score points and improve on their best result of the year of P11 in Bahrain for Zhou Guanyu.
