How Allan McNish will fit into Audi’s project in his new, more senior F1 role.
Audi has reorganised its Formula 1 team post Jonathan Wheatley’s sudden departure, with Mattia Binotto temporarily stepping into the role of CEO and team principal.
Allan McNish, a longtime Audi employee, has been named racing director to oversee day-to-day operations and lead various team aspects beginning at the Miami Grand Prix in May.
McNish will manage sporting matters, engineering coordination, driver management, race strategy, garage operations, on-track media, partner activities, and Audi’s young driver programme.
Having proved his skills as Audi’s Formula E team principal, McNish brings a wealth of motorsport experience and a successful sportscar career to the role.
This move aims to provide stability to Audi’s F1 project after recent disruptions and sets the team up for success in the upcoming races and seasons.
