Audi is going to bet, or rather is already betting, very strong by Formula 1. One of the great car brands in the world will arrive at the Great Circus in 2026 with a majority stake in Sauber to form a team that will bear his name, his ‘shield’ and also his engines.
They are already working precisely on them, despite the fact that there are more than three years left before landing in the World Cup.
This has been said by McNish, director of coordination of motor sports for the Audi Group, in statements for ‘Autosport’ that are included in ‘Motorsport.com’.
“Everyone is excited. 2026 offers us a good runway to get to F1″, he says.
And he explains: “There is always a moment when the stars align. Without a doubt it’s exciting”.
Because the change in regulations for that year is key, with the greatest commitment to electricity and sustainability, in addition to new standards for chassis.
For this reason, Audi is at the top: “There is more and more staff. There is a great drive and it is something positive. There are a lot of smiles right now.”
