Sauber are the only team yet to score so far in 2024 and lie bottom of the constructors’ championship with just three race weekends left.

“Stake has always helped us create some impressive one-off designs and this is no different,” said Team Representative Alessandro Alunni Bravi.

“Our special livery for Las Vegas is more than just a design – it’s a representation of our team’s ethos and of Stake’s philosophy.

“We push forward with relentless passion, just as this city does, and we’re excited to showcase our fiery spirit on one of the most thrilling stages in motorsport.”

Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu’s race suits will be adorned by flames with the theme also displayed across the team’s garage.

Ahead of the weekend, the team revealed they are not retaining either Bottas or Zhou for next season, with F2 championship leader Gabriel Bortoleto getting the seat alongside Nico Hulkenberg.
