Spa 2022: Audi presents the project with Sauber.
Roger BenoitFormula 1 reporter

The many Sauber fans are eagerly awaiting Audi’s participation in Formula 1. Many fans celebrated the Le Mans victory in 1989 with Mercedes power and the two titles in the World Endurance Championship with Hinwil. The Formula 1 car of 2026 has long had a name that of course almost no one takes seriously: ‘Saudi’.

Every new project always provokes a lot of envy. Like the past few weeks. Suddenly rumors surface – especially from France – that Audi is withdrawing again. Although the Germans already own 25 percent of the Zurich Oberland and the team is expanded with new people every day. And these chassis and engine specialists are not easy to find on the street.

Rumors cause unrest

And anyone who rips people away from other teams (usually with higher salaries) will logically create enemies among all the teams in the Grand Prix circus. Sauber and Audi now feel this too. The rumors of a German withdrawal bring mental unrest and uncertainty. The new CEO Andreas Seidl (47) has probably already received many calls from concerned people he has hired. And then they just ask what’s going on! Nothing.

But Audi must also publicly intervene in daily operations by mid-2024. The current situation without a real team boss is also not acceptable for the fans. Seidl must finally provide clarity to the outside world. You can discuss the choice of driver. The fans will have to live with Bottas and Zhou in 2024 – there were no good alternatives on the market. And of course people do not have much confidence in the homegrown Théo Pourchaire (who will soon become Formula 2 champion). In the penultimate season without an Audi engine, it was better to hold on to the old growth. Close your eyes – and just hope for points. This is how Sauber fans have been living for years.
