The Sauber Academy – formerly known as the Sauber Junior Team – is a driver development programme by Sauber Motorsport to support drivers from karts through the feeder series ladder to promote them to their Formula One team.[1]

In November 2018, Sauber entered a partnership with Czech team Charouz Racing System to form the Sauber Junior Team, followed by the creation of a karting team in March 2019.[2] [3] After 2019 Sauber parted ways with Charouz and rebranded the programme as the Sauber Academy.[4] [5] Sauber's Karting Team, aligned with Kart Republic, also entails various drivers.
