Audi revs up its 2026 F1 plans with 100% stake in Sauber

The 2024 season might not be the most thrilling so far, but Audi must’ve seen something it likes: today Ingolstadt has announced it will now take over 100% of the Sauber team as opposed to the original 75%.

According to a release put out by Audi, Oliver Hoffmann will be responsible for the Audi Formula 1 program overall as a General Representative, while ex-McLaren team principal – also ex-Porsche WEC and ex-BMW F1 team – Andrew Seidl will take the reins as team principal. Hoffmann’s job will essentially unite the three pillars of Audi’s F1 efforts; the Sauber F1 team, the power unit division over in Neuburg and the main Audi company’s involvement. It’s no simple task to unite such a fragmented team – just have a look how things at the Enstone/Viry based Alpine F1 team. As you’d expect, it’s a full-time job, so Hoffmann will now step down as a member of the board.
