In that year 2026 will come Audi alongside Sauber replacing Alfa Romeo on the grid. “We will have a program, the simulator and we will work with drivers for development, and this is important. It could be linked to a talent program or a young driver program, but we will talk about it later,” revealed Adam Baker, CEO of Audi, in the presentation. .
The arrival of another team
The CEO of Formula 1, Stefano Domenicali, has opened the doors precisely this week to another team on the grid. And these statements were also related to Andretti and Porsche, both interested in landing in the competition.
“It’s not a problem to have one more team in the Championship. There is a lot of interest in it, but only if it allows us to have better races. We’ll see. For the moment, we monitor the situation. If an amazing team wants to discuss your entry, we’re willing to talk. But for now this is not the situation,” Domenicali said in statements collected by ‘Soymotor’.
