Stake F1 Team KICK Sauber and Claro: together again for 2025

Hinwil, 16 March 2025 – Stake F1 Team KICK Sauber is pleased to announce the launch of a new partnership with Claro, the leading telecommunications provider serving the Latin American market. With deep roots within Formula One, Claro, known for its relentless push for innovation and its outstanding connectivity, has been a regular presence within the sport since 2006, notably through its long-standing sponsorship of the São Paulo Grand Prix. The new partnership represents the revival of a successful relationship with the Hinwil squad, originally established in 2011 through Claro and other brands in the América Móvil family, and now rekindled as the team enters the 2025 season.

The collaboration will prominently feature Claro's branding on the team's cars, driver suits, helmets, and gloves, further connecting fans worldwide to the fast-paced excitement of Formula One. Stake F1 Team KICK Sauber drivers Nico Hulkenberg and Gabriel Bortoleto – the latter making his highly anticipated debut as the only Brazilian driver on the 2025 grid – will carry Claro's logo throughout the championship.

Stefano Battiston, Chief Commercial Officer of Sauber Motorsport: “We are delighted to welcome Claro back into our family, as they join Stake F1 Team KICK Sauber in 2025. Claro's long-term commitment to innovation and their strong presence in motorsport make them a perfect match for our vision and ambitions. Together, we aim to enhance fan experiences and create new connections with Formula One audiences around the globe.”

Ane Lopes, Director of Marketing, Branding, and Communication at Claro: “Speed and innovation connect Claro to Formula One, and we are excited about our renewed partnership with Stake F1 Team KICK Sauber. This collaboration aligns perfectly with our commitment to bringing fans closer to the sport, especially with the presence of Gabriel Bortoleto, who carries the Brazilian passion onto the international stage."

Throughout the 2025 season, the partnership will also offer fans exclusive behind-the-scenes content and unique insights across both Claro's and the team's digital platforms.
