Audi officially confirms their F1 entry with 100% ownership.

In the 2022 season, Audi acquired a 25% stake in F1 Sauber. Speculations arose that Audi might increase their ownership by 50%, resulting in a total ownership of 75%. However, during the third day of the free practice session at the Saudi Grand Prix in 2024, Audi officially announced their complete ownership of the current F1 Sauber team, holding a 100% stake..

Who will be Audi F1 Team head ?

Andreas Seidl has been appointed as the Team Principal for the Audi F1 team starting in 2026. Previously, Seidl served as the team principal for McLaren from 2019 to 2022 during a challenging period for the team. Despite the difficulties, Seidl successfully orchestrated a turnaround for McLaren, elevating them to the top order of the grid. Under his leadership, McLaren even secured a remarkable victory at Monza with the talented driver Daniel Ricciardo.
