Sauber unveils a striking chequered flag livery for the Las Vegas Grand Prix, a visual farewell marking the end of its partnership with sponsor Stake. The C45s will feature sweeping chequered elements flowing into deep black carbon textures, punctuated by signature electric green, creating a kinetic look "unmistakably at home under Vegas’ neon glow." This is Sauber’s third special livery this season, following unique designs for Miami and Spain, underscoring the team's willingness to embrace standout visuals, especially at American races where Stake's branding is usually present.
More significantly, this livery also precedes the Sauber name itself exiting F1 after this season, as the team transitions to become Audi's factory entry from 2026. With Williams and Alpine also revealing special designs, the Vegas grid promises a vibrant spectacle. It’s a fitting, high-profile way for the historic Swiss team to close an era under the bright lights, making one final visual statement before a new chapter begins.
