Audi has almost won in every category of motorsport – now it’s time for Formula 1. From 2026, we will compete in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship with our own factory team.
The new team has three locations. The Sauber Group's Formula 1 factory in Hinwil (Switzerland) is known for its innovative technologies and passion for racing, while Audi's Motorsport Competence Center in Neuburg an der Donau (Germany) is considered one of the most modern of its kind in Europe. Our recently opened Sauber Motorsport Technology Center in Bicester (UK) will extend the team's presence and influence within the global Formula One landscape, giving the team access to the world’s largest motorsport expertise and talent pool.
Our Power Unit comes from Neuburg, while Hinwil is responsible for the development of the chassis and race operations with support from the UK.
Popular on a global stage, highly emotional and technologically advanced – Formula 1 is a spectacular platform for the world’s most sophisticated racing cars and Audi wants to demonstrate "Vorsprung durch Technik" in this competitive environment.
The decision to enter Formula 1 was driven by new regulations announced by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA). From 2026, sustainable synthetic fuels will be used while approximately 50% of the drivetrain’s power will be electric. Audi wants to actively support the transformation of what is by far the most important motorsport series.
Have you got what it takes to write Audi’s next chapter in motorsport history? Our team is looking for passionate team members who can bring an athlete’s mindset to the mix. If you believe boundaries only exist to be broken and giving up isn’t an option, we would love to hear from you.
