Audi’s F1 project under fresh uncertainty as senior figure faces exit
After CEO Markus Duesmann left the company, chief development officer Oliver Hoffmann is also reportedly set to move on. Hoffmann could be forced out due to a difference of views with current Audi CEO Gernot Dollner over the company’s future. His departure is linked to Audi’s sluggish sales under his leadership, with models facing delays or failing to meet expectations. The Audi Supervisory Board will discuss Hoffmann’s situation before the Volkswagen Group’s Supervisory Board makes the final decision in March. Dollner is considering moving Hoffmann to the F1 project, potentially impacting Audi’s F1 plan for 2026.
