Alfa Romeo’s team principal Frederic Vasseur said, “Alessandro has been an integral part of the growth of our company. On and off the track, in the last few years. I am excited about the contribution he will make in his new position.”
“Few can match his knowledge of motorsports with that of business and the complex legal landscape in which we operate, and this makes Alessandro the right person for this challenge.”
The Swiss company is keen to maintain the Sauber brand as a separate entity alongside the Alfa Romeo F1 team. It is because they want to emphasize on engineering and technology business. As their main highlight is their wind tunnel facility.
Last year the organization was nearly sold to Michael Andretti. But, the main shareholder Finn Rausing was unwilling to let it go. Thus, he opted to remain in charge.
