Sauber

Sauber, founded by Peter Sauber, made its Formula 1 debut in 1993, building a reputation as a well-regarded independent team. Known for nurturing young talent, they provided early opportunities for future stars like Kimi Räikkönen and Felipe Massa. While they operated as BMW Sauber F1 Team from 2006 to 2009, the Hinwil-based outfit has largely remained a privateer entry, consistently participating in the sport for 887 races. Despite never securing a constructors' championship, Sauber has achieved 0 wins and 11 podiums, demonstrating resilience and engineering competence throughout its history. Since 2019, the team has competed under the Alfa Romeo brand.
