Alessandro Alunni Bravi has responded to rumours suggesting that Audi are prepared to pull the plug on their F1 project for 2026.
Audi is confirmed to join the F1 grid in 2026, taking over the Sauber (currently Alfa Romeo) team. Recent rumors have questioned Audi’s commitment to F1 after the departure of key supporters Markus Duesmann and Herbert Diess. However, team representative Beatrice Bravi clarified that Audi has a strong commitment to F1, with decisions made by the Audi board, advisory board, and supervisory board. The lack of communication is due to limitations during the transition period with Alfa Romeo. The team is working on recruitment and development plans, with funding and support from both Audi and Alfa Romeo shareholders. Completion of the transaction is expected before the 2026 season.
