Alfa Romeo Formula 1’s parent company Sauber Group has appointed Alessandro Alunni Bravi as its new Managing Director.
Alunni Bravi has been Sauber’s General Counsel since 2017 and has also been a member of its Board.
He has also been a driver manager and has a lengthy association with Alfa Romeo team boss Frederic Vasseur.
Alunni Bravi will focus on the marketing, communications, sales, legal, IT and finance of Sauber, with the company keen to remain an entity away from the running of its Formula 1 team.
“Alessandro has been an integral part of the growth of our company, on and off the track, in the last few years and I am excited about the contribution he will make in his new position,” said Vasseur.
“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.”
Commented Alunni Bravi: “It’s an honour to take on the challenge of being Managing Director of a company with the successful history that Sauber has.
“I am also aware of the responsibility that this position brings towards the more than 500 people employed by Sauber, a commitment I will meet with hard work, passion and dedication.
“I’d like to thank Frédéric Vasseur and the Sauber Group shareholders, as well as all those who have been by my side these last years, making it possible for me to achieve this next step.”
