Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber

Is this the worst team name ever?
 
If they get a double DNF next year I confidently predict a headline will read:

"Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber In The Balls."

This team was named after the very first words uttered by Peter Sauber waking up from a coma.
 
Peter Sauber is probably ripping out whatever hair he has left after seeing that name.
 
Would have been much more fitting for the team to run it's final few years, before VAG turn it into a cooperate entry, as Peter Sauber Racing or something. Tip of the hat and tribute to the man who made it.

Much better than the aneurism they've gone for.

I was wondering why you hadn't provided the article link until I realised this wasn't a quoted headline where Stake completely removed the Sauber name from the team.
 
Now I’m looking forward to seeing what AT rebrands itself to.

But where did they kick Sauber? That's the bigger concern.
 
It's still Sauber but what an awful, terrible name. A name so bad it gives every F1 fan eyes and ear cancer every single time.
 
I reckon it’ll just universally be known as Sauber, it’s not as if anyone calls Aston Martin ‘Aramco Cognizant AM Racing’ is it but that’s the official name. The chassis will be called Sauber I think so the team will be called Sauber, but as official team names go, this one’s a stinker for sure.
 
Stake F1 Kick Sauber lmaoooo

We went from Sauber Mercedes and BMW Sauber to this lmaoo
 
Guess beeing poor is like that in F1 so online casino gambling isn't an issue connected to your name. I just don't get it why Audi is fine beeing connected to something like this shady. Would be interesting what Stake is paying but it wasn't possible to just have these millions from VW or Audi bank, etc. to avoid this naming? Now "Stake F1 Kick Sauber which is Audi in the background" for every F1 related coverage in media for the next 1 or 2 years?

I don't why the team needs both Stake and Kick in it's name.
 


If you think you know, think again?

Wonder if that’s a backtrack.

This is what I think of every time I see "Kick". This was a Mountain Dew copy cat drink we had here in the US.

I'm guessing promising partial naming rights to the team was the main way of securing sponsorship, which is why the name now looks like a wish.com listing for knockoff merchandise fished out of a Shenzhen dumpster.
 
Crap tracks being dropped isn't a bad thing.
 
oh no please dont take jeddah away from me id be so sad
 
It's more the potential for disruption to the season and other motorsports that I'm concerned about - planning an overseas trip to a race is hard enough without scheduling uncertainties thrown into the mix.

That said, one or two Middle East GPs dropping off the calendar would be fine with me.

Sounds fine except Sods Law states that we'll lose one and it'll be Bahrain - the only one of the four tracks that is interesting and produces great racing. They were the first in the Middle East, I have no real issues with Bahrain staying on the calendar even if it ends up as the token ME circuit but it would suck if the only one with history was the one we lost.
 
Don't worry, I'm sure they'll come up with a solution that adds even more stress and cost to the teams' logistics while still ending up a complete shambles on race weekend.

Now I'm imagining the fiasco that would occur from Red Bull missing the race because they got held up at a toll area. Christian Horner's head would probably explode as a result.

...hmm, actually you might be onto something here.
 
So the initial leaked name wasn’t real.

Apparently they'll be named Kick F1 Team where gambling sponsorship isn't allowed.

/kick F1 Team
Sauber has been kicked from the chat
 
F1 cars are too big.


It’s weird to think that WEC would probably be better around Monaco just because of the size.
