07/02/2025

Sauber has showcased the race suits of its F1 drivers for the 2025 season, as Memento Exclusives will auction the team’s showcar to be used for livery reveal.

After the team showed its team wear for the 2025 F1 season, Sauber has presented the race suits of Nico Hulkenberg and Gabriel Bortoleto which retains Stake’s corporate colour of florescent green and black – but there is a design tweak from last year.

Their race numbers and first name features on the suit which was seen on Ferrari as well albeit at different place on the suit. The duo will sport the new race suit during the F1 75 liver launch event in London’s O2 arena on February 18.
