The project of Audi begins to take shape in Formula 1. An ambitious project that is already looking for a great boss of the competition and a driver who could even arrive in this year that has just begun. This is how he has detailed it Adam BakerCEO of Audi Formula Racing.
Baker has spoken of signing the pilots for their “results” and not for their nationality: “Our priority will be the results that the pilots have achieved or they can achieve with our car. But obviously it’s still early to choose them.”
“It is not yet known which drivers there will be in 2024. So it is really difficult to say what the driver market situation will be for the 2026 season,” he comments without giving names.
Regarding the team leaders, the Swiss newspaper ‘Blick’ reveals that Audi’s main objective is Mike KrackAston Martin boss and new boss of Fernando Alonso from this 2023.

“The development of the power unit will take place in Germany for the first time since 2009 and we need experts who have a lot of experience in Formula 1. In this case, we will probably have to look in the United Kingdom, France or Italya”, explains the head of the new team of the Great Circus.
