Will Sauber be called Sauber again next year? It's possible but not save to say. Alfa Romeo definitely won't continue as a name sponsor for Sauber in 2024, so Sauber has to look for alternatives. Beat Zehnder now said that it will be possible that the name Sauber returns to F1. They'd be looking for a new title-sponsor, but it's also a possibility that the team will be called Sauber for the next two years, until it will be the works team of Audi in 2026. Zehnder also said that maybe they'll even find a title-sponsor that insists that the name Sauber will be kept besides their own name and that they (Sauber) would be very happy about it. So we'll have to wait how the team from Hinwil will be called for the next two seasons.

Races Shouldn't End Like That - F1 Grid
Request from @rj10109 - could I please request a f1 grid x driver reader where reader kinda passes out from heat exhaustion in the qatar grand pix and the grid acts like protective older brothers, or the reader gets into a crash and gets injured and everyone just dotes on her
I did write something similar to this based around Charles dating the reader, but I actually quite like this idea tbh.
Alfa Romeo driver!reader
Tumblr media
Y/n's head felt like her brain was melting, it wasn't just a headache, it actually felt like there was fire all over her. Her skin prickles from the heat as her suit clings to her skin, saturated in her sweat. Every breath out hurts.
Talking on the radio takes up so much energy when they finally tell her she's over the finish line, she actually feels like she's going to be sick.
"Y/n, do you copy?" Y/n's race engineer calls out making her snap out of her.
Whatever Jamie said, she just wasn't listening.
"Copy." She coughs out completely breaths.
Sweat is blurring her vision and has been for a while, she feels like shit and the idea of hauling herself out of the car is just too exhausting.
"Y/n? Are you feeling ok? We've had reports of other drivers unwell and Logan retired due to feeling unwell."
That was an option?
"Y/n?"
"I don't feel good." Y/n finally chokes out.
"You don't feel good? Do you need to stop?"
"No. I can make it back, I just..." Her voice trails off into a dehydrated cough.
"Alright, just bring yourself back. Don't talk."
When she pulls in she turns off the car and just sits. Not even sure how she's meant to get out the car.
"Hey, hey, baby girl. Let's get you out of there." Jamie smiles appearing with her trainer Gordie who reaches in undoing her helmet and pulling it off. The drenched inside soaked so much with her sweat that it drips out of it. "Jesus."
"That bad?" Y/n jokes as her balaclava is peeled from her skin. "Fuck."
"Ok, we're going to get you out."
"I'm...I'm...it hurts. Everything hurts." Y/n admits making Jamie look at her in worry.
They manage to position themselves to pull her body from the heat of the cock pit and with a couple of the mechanics there pointing the fans at her as they quickly peel the upper part of her suit off.
"Let's get you to weigh in. Media can wait. I want you checked at the medical centre." Gordie states making her nod. "Come on, we got you."
"No. I'm fine. I'm good. No one else is being carried-"
"Trust us. Some of the others haven't got away from their cars." Jamie states making her look around to see Alex is still very much on top of his car looking just as bad if not worse than her.
Y/n sighs heavily before she stands up feeling her legs wobble but she holds her hands out to keep the men from aiding her.
"I've got it."
Y/n makes it to the weigh bridge where she doesn't even want to know how much weight she lost before she moves to change quickly into something at least a little less sweaty with Gordie's help.
They get her to the medical centre where she is quickly told she has heat exhaustion to which she replies it feels like she was boiled in her own blood throughout the race.
"I'll do media pen, then can you make sure there's an ice bath to drown myself in?" Y/n asks making her trainer nod as she sees the teams comms personnel waiting for her to get her to the media pen for her post-race interviews.
Y/n ends up waiting a few minutes because she's came in a rush of drivers coming in late.
"Y/n, you look..." Charles grimaces making her shake her head at him.
"Don't." Y/n states quickly as he looks at her in pity. "I thought I was going to die. You look fine though."
Charles' expression speaks loudly in ways he clearly doesn't want to.
"Y/n...Here, have this." Charles states giving her his ice pack vest and helping her into it.
"You don't have to-"
"You need it more." Charles shrugs before moving over to another interview while she finds herself with Esteban suddenly appearing.
"You joined Ferrari?" Esteban jokes making her laugh then wobbling a little as she tries to shift her weight. The sudden coolness is a bit more of a shock to the system and is seemingly making her head floor with all the hot blood as if it's running from the ice pack jacket. "I thought I was bad. I was sick in my helmet if that helps at all."
"I'm not sure it helps...are you ok?"
"Better now. I look better than you...how much weight did you lose?"
"You should never ask a lady that." Fernando states appearing suddenly as he moves to hug y/n who sort of takes the rest of not quite supporting her own weight. "Ah, y/n. You are burning."
"My-"
Y/n stumbles pushing past the Spaniard and out the media pen only, dropping onto her knees as the small amount of water she'd managed to get into herself after the race spills out of her.
"Y/n?" Max calls out suddenly making her shake her head.
Her head feels like her brain just exploded from the strain and pressure of heaving and the world is spinning around her.
"On three."
Two people have locked onto her arms and lifted her up just enough to shift her away from the puddle of sick. She's in a bad way.
Max and Lando are the ones to lift her and carry her to a table. Where Lando came from she doesn't know, she just sees the flash of orange with curly hair.
"Hey...they're getting the medics." Lando smiles crouching in front of her while Max fusses over her trying to get a cold towel around her neck.
She's broke out in a new sweat and there's seemingly not enough to cool her down.
"You guys aren't this bad." Y/n hiccups making the slowly gathering crowd of drivers, trainers and other team members exchange looks between themselves.
"The ones who aren't here, are this bad." Max states before the medics appear and everyone divides.
-
Y/n ended up being given some pretty strong painkillers and taken for an ice bath before being rushed to the hotel.
With the news of her in a pretty poor condition meaning that she couldn't leave as soon as she'd planned to, a few of the drivers grouped together to make sure she knew that she certainly wouldn't be alone.
"Y/n...you have some guests." Gordie smiles having disappeared about half an hour ago and now reappearing with a group of drivers behind him.
Among those, Oscar, Max, Charles, Carlos, Lando, Logan, Alex, Lewis, George, Pierre, Esteban, Liam, Yuki and Fernando. More than half the grid joining her.
"We're having a day all squished together." Carlos smiles as he climbs onto the bed that she's set up on and hugs her. "Poor baby."
"You are so lucky you didn't have to do that race." Y/n pouts leaning onto him.
Even now her temperature is a little high, Gordie has been trying to get her to eat some breakfast but they're about to destroy his efforts with a much more effective method.
"We bring ice cream cake!" Max states presenting the cake with Yuki.
"As long as I'm not expected to eat it all."
"Yeah, we're still waiting for her appetite to come back." Gordie smiles as the drivers each find a spot to place themselves. Most fitting on the bed, some dragging the spare seats and sofa over to the bed so they can all be close.
"I think we got it from here mate." Lewis states patting Gordie’s shoulder.
Her trainer had stayed up through the night essentially nursing y/n and making sure she didn't suddenly need medical assistance again.
"Did you guys really all come here just for me?" Y/n pouts as Yuki takes charge of dividing up the cake.
"You scared us yesterday." Max comments making her grimace.
"So Alex and Logan." George assures her but when she looks at the Williams drivers, she's isn't given much comfort. They've both laid down on her bed towards the end and look like they each need another 20 hours of sleep.
At some point Max sets up a games console and they begin playing video games. Though y/n is still far too fatigued and achy to take part. She decides to team up with Lando who had sat himself on the other side of her to Carlos.
And that's how she spends the day, some of which she is dozing in and out of sleep leaning either on Lando or Carlos till Lando moves and swapped out with Liam who apparently decides to nap with her for a while as the others bicker about a certain game.
Eventually they all fall asleep and when Gordie returns in the evening he manages to wake them all for a meal then leaving them to sleep again. Which they all do more than happily.
Even Carlos and Lewis are just happy to be involved, despite their lack of involvement in the race over all.
It's already been decided the drivers will be having a meeting with the FIA to discuss the matter of the race and conditions in which it's acceptable to allow a race to go forth. Obviously they have rules in place for wet weather. But there seems to be blurry lines about the safety of hot and cold and where the line lies when the temperature is simply too high or too low. But they'll tackle that after some recovery time.

A great read. Here are just 2 quotes from Charles to get you started:
“I call my engineers quite a lot. I speak to them after the races, on Monday or Tuesday, to do a point on the last Grand Prix and to speak about the next race and find out if we have any upgrades. I ask them what I can do better, what I can improve and if my way to work with them is OK. We speak a bit about everything.”
“I think quite a lot when I’m driving. It’s very important for me to think how the car is behaving, and how I would like it to behave and how to drive with the car behaving the wrong way. Actually, there is a lot going through my head when I’m driving.”

New Alfa Romeo / Sauber name
Tumblr media
The FIA has published the official entry list for next years F1 season. And on that list, the former Alfa Romeo team is called 'Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber'. Also, rumours say, the team will officially race under the name of 'Kick Formula 1 Team Sauber' at some races.
Next years chassis will be called 'KICK Sauber C44'.
The new name of Alpha Tauri isn't known yet, the team is still called Alpha Tauri on the entry list. Only difference is that it has an RB at the end of it's name.
And Cognizant isn't title sponsor of Aston Martin anymore.
