AMF

Associazione Meccanica di Faenza, known simply as AMF, is an Italian racing team based in Faenza. The team was formed by a mechanic organization who wanted to keep the Faenza HQ alive after Alpha Tauri was shut down and Nero, the team that had purchased Alpha Tauri's assets refused to relocate. AMF entered the sport in 2040 following Saudia's disbanding and sale and made their debut in 2040, with their primary intention being the development of Italian talent.

Origins
Associazione Meccanica di Faenza was formed following Alpha Tauri's collapse and sale to HSBC Nero. With the British team wishing not to relocate from London to Faenza, AMF took over the Faenza HQ in order to keep it alive. Later in early 2040, Saudia was shut down by Aramco and put on sale, and AMF came in and purchased the assets of the disbanded team and entered the series, with the intention of developing Italian talent, despite coming in an era where Italian drivers had virtually disappeared.

2040: A weak start
For their debut season, AMF signed the only Italian driver of the paddock, Michelle di Aimano, formerly a Ferrari prospect, and surprisingly signed Ziggy Zaggy on loan from Aston Martin, who had impressed last year with Racing Point. Much like every new team, AMF was stuck in the back of the grid, but managed to show flashes of potential and Zaggy scored the team's only points of the season, beating rivals PSG for the best new team.
