Sauber Formula 1 team have teased another name change after they faced public backlash to their big reveal last week.

After five years competing as Alfa Romeo, the Sauber group revealed last week that their new team name was to be Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber.

And it is safe to say that F1 fans were not overly enamoured with the new identity, subsequently labelled as the 'worst name in history'.
