Sauber has confirmed Marcus Ericsson will race alongside Formula 2 champion Charles Leclerc next season, while also unveiling the new livery for its partnership with Alfa Romeo.

Though Leclerc has been expected to fill one of the seats for a while now, there had been a question-mark over who would partner him in 2018. That speculation ended on Saturday at an event in Italy where Ericsson -- who had been up against Ferrari junior Antonio Giovinazzi for the seat -- was confirmed for a third season with the team.

Not to mention we have also just revealed the livery concept show car for the #F1 #2018 #AlfaRomeoSauberF1Team challenger ud83dude0dud83dudc4fud83dudc4f pic.
