Key: Audi F1 team won’t be “final product” until 2027
The Hinwil organisation, operating as Stake F1, is in the process of building up their staff and improving facilities ahead of their entry into Formula 1. However, it is acknowledged that they will not be fully prepared for Audi’s entry in 2026 due to the time it takes to complete the necessary steps. The team is actively working on attracting new talent and expanding in all key areas to achieve their goals. Their short-term ambition is to work closely with Andreas Seidl for the 2024 season and beyond. While the team expects to reach their desired level by around 2027, they are confident that they will be in much better shape by 2026 and will continue to take steps forward. The current stability under the major shareholder has allowed for growth, and the team is focused on consolidating their strengths and filling any gaps with existing talent and facilities.
