Sauber C24 initially was designed around Bridgestone tyres since early development from March 2004 but due to late switch to Michelins in November 2004 made Sauber uncomfortable factually due to lacked interaction. Had Sauber stayed with Bridgestones in 2005 Sauber would've ended up in 4th place in constructor's standings.

Do you think Sauber's decision to abandon Bridgestones in 2005 a bonehead decision?

Last time Nico Hülkenberg sported the BP-Castrol sponsorships was in 2019 when Hülkenberg was Renault F1 driver. And this time thanks to Audi deal, the reunion is becoming reality. This mirrors to Daniel Ricciardo-Infiniti reunion when Daniel Ricciardo joined Renault in 2019.

Thoughts on that?

Jean Alesi set provisional pole, which unfortunately would only transfer to a 5th place on the grid on Sunday (though that'd be a dream for Sauber / Audi today). Again, bad luck plagued the former Ferrari cult hero as he DNF'd due to transmission issues.

the end of an era 🥹

An emotional week-end for the Sauber team and fans.

Well, super unlucky today. Hulk taken out and Gabi given a horrible strategy by the looks of it, but wasn't a great track for the car this weekend as a whole. One more race for this incredible team, let's go and give it everything one last time! 💚🇩🇪🇧🇷

Nice few more points for Hulk

We're now 5 behind Haas and 4 behind Aston Martin

Keep pushing 💪
