Audi brand will not be part of new Sauber F1 identity from 2024
The Swiss-based Sauber team will become the Audi works team in 2026 when new engine regulations are introduced, but there will be no public presence of Audi until then. Sauber will continue under the Sauber brand until 2024, and a new title sponsor and team name will be announced next month. Sauber’s team principal, Alessandro Alunni Bravi, confirmed that the commitment of Audi to enter F1 is strong and has been approved at multiple senior levels within the company. Despite speculation over Audi’s commitment following the departure of former CEO Markus Duesmann, Sauber maintains that the situation behind the scenes is clear and progress is being made as planned.
