Does anyone know in which 2024 races Sauber ran as "Kick Sauber F1 Team" and as "Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber"? I understand that some countries do not allow gambling-related advertising, but I do not know which countries these are. I believe Australia is one of them. What are the others?

According to Wikipedia:

Sauber's sponsorship arrangement was with Stake, whose co-founders are backers of Kick.[18] Sauber entered rounds 3, 10, 14, and 23–24 as "Kick Sauber F1 Team".

One bonus perk of listening to BBC Radio coverage in 2024, they spent all year calling them Sauber (as they have too) much nicer and less messy

Good to hear! We should kick out Stake and burn Kick at the stake. Or maybe introduce a ten second penalty for any car with a silly name.

Sky Sports F1 did the same.

No worries.

Australia, Spain, Belgium, Qatar and the UAE are a strange constellation of countries though.

QUABS.

Visa CashGrab AlphaTauri VCARB RB has really screwed with me this season, I’ve been calling them AlphaTauri because literally every other name is confusing. And Sauber are just Sauber until they don’t turn into Audi in 2026. To be honest, this whole adjusting team entry names depending on the country has been happening for ages since the days of tobacco sponsors, it’s nothing new.

CashGrab is referred to as MinRB henceforth by me. It has been dubbed this way just a couple of weeks ago. And it will stick. Much like Sauber is always going to stick.

MinRB.

It’s fine. They’re going to be called Racing Bulls this year.

First letter of each country.

 

No idea if QUABS is funny in itself. Why not SQUAB? Not sure what's going on TBH.

We have BRICS so why not QUABS?  (It's also a reference to The Meaning Of Liff BTW.)

[SenorSjon]

I'll keep Minardi at CashGrab for the time being.

Aye, with two Bs and a nice eruptive illustration.

Actually, in 2024, we also had Scuderia Ferrari and Scuderia Ferrari HP
