Light ‘em up: flaming hot livery for Las Vegas

Hinwil, 18 November 2024 – Stake F1 Team KICK Sauber is set to ignite the Las Vegas Grand Prix weekend with a flaming hot special livery that embodies the energy, excitement, and intensity of this iconic city. As the team takes on the glittering desert night, the striking design of the car pays tribute to Las Vegas – a city known for its vibrant nightlife, dazzling lights, and non-stop action.

The new livery, developed with and from an idea by Stake, is a symbol of the team’s unwavering spirit: this team doesn’t give up until the very end, no matter what challenges are thrown in front of it: just as flames flicker and blaze without ceasing, our fiery determination burns bright across every lap. The flames on the car’s design reflect the high-energy atmosphere of Las Vegas, a city that is synonymous with explosive entertainment, from the neon lights to the pyrotechnics that light up the sky.

“We take every race as an opportunity, on and off the track, and that includes maximising returns for our partners and continuing delivering exceptional value for them as well” said Alessandro Alunni Bravi, Team Representative. “Stake has always helped us create some impressive one-off designs and this is no different. 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. Stake has supported us throughout the season and, just as they backed this ambitious livery design, they will further back us in one of the most special of races of the season.”

The flames are not only a nod to the city’s dynamic energy but also to its rich history – from Elvis Presley’s iconic performances to the modern shows that continue to captivate audiences. This livery is a tribute to Las Vegas’ blazing spirit, where every moment feels like an explosive performance.

The livery’s “flames” theme will be carried on to the suits worn by Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu, as well as in the team’s garage. Stake F1 Team KICK Sauber will continue to bring the heat as they take on the Las Vegas Grand Prix, looking to burn up the track and make their mark in one of the most electrifying races of the season.
