F1 News: Fans Frenzied After Shock Sauber Announcement - "Serious Rich Energy Vibes"

Fans have run wild with the latest announcement from Sauber.

F1 fans have been taking to social media after Sauber announced the official release date for the 2024 team name, despite the recent announcement from the FIA's 2024 Entry List. 

Sauber, set for a major rebranding in 2024, has dismissed the name published on the FIA's 2024 Entry List. The team, hinting at an exciting new identity, will announce their actual name on January 1, 2024. This follows the end of their partnership with Alfa Romeo, paving the way for a new title partnership with Australian streaming service Kick.com for 2024 and 2025. 

Sauber took to social media to tease the release, writing:

"It seems our recently released team name has been getting a lot of attention...

"While we're not ready to unveil the final result yet, we are aware of what's at stake. Rest assured, we're on a mission to unleash the most exciting team identity this team has ever seen.

"Gone are the days of the short and sweet. We're cooking up a feast."

If you think you already know, think again… 👀

Taking to Reddit, fans have been running wild with the surprising announcement.

Referring to former F1 driver Timo Glock, one fan suggested:

"I personally think the best name for a team would be 'Team O'Glock'"

"Serious Rich Energy vibes with these clowns. At least they have money."

"Tears in my eyes we've bullied a corporation into changing their name"

"A lot of teams have unnecessary long names that get shortened by just about everyone. They will be Sauber until Audi (or whatever) takes over then they will be Audi."

"'The most exciting team identity this team has ever seen'

"They'll never top BMW Sauber with Kubica and Heidfeld."
