Next weekend’s Las Vegas Grand Prix won’t just be about neon lights and high stakes – it’ll be about eye-catching liveries, too.

Following Williams’ own livery twist for the Sin City event, both Sauber and Alpine are bringing their own flair to the Strip.

The Swiss outfit, entering its final three races before Audi takes the reins in 2026, has unveiled a bold new look dubbed the ‘Final Lap’. The design celebrates the team’s journey with partner Stake and features a chequered flag motif, nodding to the classic F1 signal that marks the end of a race.

“Las Vegas is a race that thrives on spectacle, energy and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, which is exactly what this livery represents,” said Sauber team principal Jonathan Wheatley.

“The 'Final Lap' design is bold, loud and confident. It captures the spirit of a team fighting its way forward and celebrating every milestone along the way. It’s a fitting tribute to our journey with Stake and a powerful send-off as we approach the end of the season.”

Alpine Adds a Splash of Pink

Alpine isn’t holding back either. The French squad has tweaked its livery by adding more pink to the sidepods, reflecting its BWT sponsorship, a look that will stick for the final three races.

Currently sitting ninth and 10th in F1’s Constructors Championship, Sauber and Alpine both scored a top-ten finish in Sao Paulo last time out.

Pierre Gasly’s P1 at Interlagos was the Enstone squad’s first points scoring race since last summer’s Belgian Grand Prix, and has hopefully set up the team for another strong run next weekend.

Phillip van Osten

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend. Phillip's passion for racing grew even more when his family moved to Europe and he became acquainted with the extraordinary world of Grand Prix racing. He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
