Alunni Bravi, who is the managing director of the Sauber group, has been appointed as team representative for the Alfa Romeo/Sauber team. This makes the Italian one of three leaders of the team under newly appointed chief executive officer Andreas Seidl.
Alunni Bravi will work alongside veteran sporting director Beat Zehnder and technical director Jan Monchaux with this senior leadership role with the Alfa Romeo/Sauber team, which will become Audi in 2026.
The role is reflective of Seidl’s decision to set Sauber/Alfa Romeo up with a structure different from other F1 teams.
There will be no formal team principal role; instead leadership will be split three ways.
Alunni Bravi will attend news conferences, attend all briefings and sit on the pit wall.
It is a role that carries responsibilities similar to those of a team principal, but he sits alongside the sporting and technical directors in the structure rather than above them as would be more typical.
