Camozzi returns to Formula One with Alfa Romeo partnership

The Bahrain Grand Prix, taking place on Sunday 20 March, will be the first public event for the new partnership between Camozzi Group and the Alfa Romeo Fl Team Orlen, managed by Sauber Motorsport. The partnership, both a technological and sporting venture, is based on the two companies’ commitment to delivering excellence through cooperation and shared synergies.

Camozzi’s know-how makes it a natural match for Alfa Romeo Fl Team Orlen and Sauber Technologies, the Sauber Group’s entity dedicated to translating the company’s motorsport know-how into the wider world.

The partnership agreement also includes a new talent and knowledge exchange programme, through the creation of a joint development lab involving the Camozzi Research Centre (CRC) in Milan, Italy, and the Sauber Technologies headquarters in Hinwil, Switzerland.

Camozzi branding will be featured on the side pod air inlets on the team’s C42 cars, driven by Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu, as well as in the team’s garages and on other team assets.

Frederic Vasseur, team principal of Alfa Romeo Fl Team Orlen, said: “The Camozzi Group is a natural fit for us: they have a long history of excellence in Formula One and they understand our requirements and need for precision and excellence. In addition, there are many potential crossovers between their work and that of Sauber Technologies, a company within the Sauber Group. These synergies are what the joint projects we are going to carry out with the Camozzi Group will be about, as well as promoting a new generation of talented engineers and researchers.”

Ludovico Camozzi, president and CEO of Camozzi Group, added: “The Camozzi Group loves rising to the technological challenges of achieving excellence, and Formula One is the ideal opportunity for us to showcase our technically advanced products to the world. The thought of becoming a partner with Alfa Romeo F1 Team Orlen is extremely attractive not only because of the racing aspects but also because of Sauber Technologies’ commitment to innovation and its application throughout the business world. We are thrilled to have this opportunity to race with them and develop new projects together.”
