Rumours in recent months have suggested that Audi is not as committed to its Formula 1 project as it once was.
According to Audi’s new CEO Gernot Dollner, the German automaker is committed to joining the Formula 1 grid in 2026. Recent rumors raised doubts about Audi’s decision to join F1, but Dollner clarified that there is a clear decision from the board of management and the supervisory boards of Audi and Volkswagen. Audi plans to take a majority share in the Sauber Group when new technical regulations are implemented. Dollner took over as CEO after Markus Duesmann was removed from his position. Duesmann was responsible for Audi’s decision to enter F1, and although there has been little information released since the announcement, Dollner assured that the plan is in place.
