@bhmnscmm A bit confusing tbh

"Commercially speaking, it is important to have a big bang in 2026, not to dilute the Audi involvement with the team. So, we will continue as Sauber, based on the heritage of the group."

I guess that's a...reason. Reading between the lines it seems like Audi doesn't want their name on a backmarker, or, there is some hesitation on their F1 commitment.

@bhmnscmm Ahh I missed that they will just continue as "Sauber" as opposed to "Alfa Romeo"
