When the Formula 1 Championship was being created in 1950, Alfa Romeo was there, right from the start. Now, following decades of tweaks, changes and upgrades, the team still thrives, under the Sauber banner from Switzerland.
Alfa Romeo F1 Team Orleon ended the 2022/23 season with 55 points, sixth in the overall constructor’s championships as fans enjoyed a decent season, thanks to the fine driving of fan favourites Valterri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu
Alfa Romeo Divers
Now, here’s a duo of fan favourites! Here are Alfa Romeo’s drivers for the 2022/23 season:
- Valtteri Bottas – #77
- Zhou Guanyu- #24
Who are Alfa Romeo drivers?
When we use the words Fan Favourites to describe the Sauber drivers, we really mean it. Zhou and Bottas are a joy to watch and both seem to thrive off the support they get from racing fans. Bottas, from Finland, is known for his dry sense of humour on the grid, while China’s Zhou is an optimist, always smiling and happy to interact wit fans and journalists.
Alfa Romeo Fan Token Holder Benefits & Rewards
Now, of course, elite athletes are often completely inaccessible to fans and reaching them is often nigh on impossible. Well, that’s where Fan Tokens come in handy. Alfa Romeo F1 Team Orleon combined with Socios.com to create $SAUBER Fan Tokens and the aim is simple: let fans impact their team and help them get rewarded for being fans.
Fan engagement app Socios.com is designed to let fans have their say and it is also laced with rewards that fans can earn or prizes which are also regularly up for grabs.
Fan Rewards
Our Formula 1 Fan Rewards were bursting to life at the end of the season with rare, race-used merch being offered to Fan Token holders via reverse auctions.
- Bottas’ Miami GP helmet
- Bottas’ balaclavas
- A pair of Bottas’ gloves
- Fireproof underwear
These collector’s items were exclusively available to $SAUBER Fan Token holders and are extremely rare. It really is a fantastic way of using the Socios.com platform to collect authentic and genuine rare sports merchandise.
Win prizes
Last season, $SAUBER Fan Token holders won official team merch when they voted on official polls throughout the twists and turns of the incredible season. Look out for more great prizes and merch during next season too.
Vote on polls
One of the most visible ways $SAUBER Fan Token holders impacted Alfa Romeo F1 Team Orleon came at the tail end of the 2021/22 season as Fan Toke holders were asked to submit new messaging for the Sauber Formula 1 cars during the last race.
As the cars lined up on the grid for the Abu Dhabi race, you’ll have noticed personalised messages on Bottas’ and Zhou’s cars. These were submitted by Fan Token holders, before being picked by a poll on the Socios.com app.
The winning choices:
- Bottas: Sky’s the Limit
- Zhou: Dream big, Drive fast
