On the occasion of its F1 debut in three and a half years, the brand with the rings will be associated with the structure founded by Peter Sauber. At the end of last August, Audi announced its historic arrival in Formula 1 in 2026. Two months later, the German manufacturer has released a new press release to provide more details on its strategy for entering the discipline. As expected, Audi's commitment will be made in partnership with the Swiss team Sauber, but it was still unclear how the tasks would be divided between the two entities. "Sauber is a partner of choice for the use of the Audi powertrain," explains Adam Baker, the company's managing director. "We look forward to working with an experienced team that has marked many milestones in the history of Formula 1. Together, we will write the next chapter, scheduled for 2026." More than 120 employees are already working on the development project for the powertrain, consisting of an electric motor, battery, control systems and combustion engine.
