I've never hear of Sauber F1. but saying that I've only ever heard of the Schumaker brothers, Fernando Alonso and that Brazilian man that passed away in during the 90s.

Sauber have confirmed a new sponsorship deal with English Premier League football club Chelsea.

The C31 will race with Chelsea logos from the next round of the world championship in Spain.

Team CEO Monisha Kaltenborn said: “A partnership like this between Formula One and Football has never existed before in this form, yet there are numerous commonalities and possible synergies.

“In either case we are talking about team sport at the highest – and international – level. The Sauber F1 Team and Chelsea FC are dealing with many of the same sporting and commercial topics and we want to strengthen each other in these areas. We are looking forward to exploiting these opportunities, and we congratulate Chelsea on making it to the final of the Champions League.”

Sauber dropped hints about the forthcoming deal by running the slogans “Out of the blue” and “True blue” on its cars’ engine covers in the last two races.

The deal will also see Sauber logos displayed on advertising boards at Chelsea’s stadium.

I'll assume F1 is like cycling, in which case the Chelsea car would sit behind the Barcelona car for nearly the entire race and then make a cheeky late attack with about 10 metres left to go to win it. Barcelona would pull an Andy Schleck and keep nervously twisting it's neck for a non-existent threat.

Sauber isn't really a winning team...it is a midtable team for f1...

Beating Barca and reaching the UCL Final, Torres scoring a hatrick in a 6-1 thrashing of QPR and finally, securing an efficient advertising deal that can inject us with some extra money? This has actually topped off an almost perfect week for Chelsea FC.

Guess Ferrari wasn't interested
