A Formula 1 team have announced the departure of one of their championship-winning drivers ahead of the 2025 season.
2024 proved to be one of the most thrilling F1 seasons in recent memory, but one team on the grid in particular really struggled to make their mark - Kick Sauber.
With fresh, vibrant, green branding for the new season, the performance of their car did not get the memo, hit with major pit stop issues early in the campaign and showing poor pace throughout.
Interestingly, however, Sauber's driver exits do not stop there, with the team confirming three more in an official statement.
The most notable of these exits was former Formula 2 and Formula 3 champion Theo Pourchaire, who along with F2 driver Zane Maloney and F1 Academy driver Carrie Schreiner, is now set to leave his role in the Sauber Academy.
"It's been a long season for the three drivers of the Sauber Academy, who are now set to graduate from the development programme," the team statement read.
"While pursuing new endeavours and progressing in their racing careers, each of them will remain part of Sauber Motorsport's legacy in the sport, having left a mark in their own unique way."
