The Kick Sauber C44 is a Formula One car designed and built by Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber that competed in the 2024 Formula One World Championship.

The car is being driven by Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu, both in their third year at the team.

Design and development

Technically, the car is described as an evolution of its predecessor, inheriting many of the design features of its late season specification. It is the first car to be fielded by Kick Sauber since the end of their partnership with Alfa Romeo in 2023.
