Shape the Future of Motorsport with Audi F1
A new era is beginning in motorsport. Audi will be competing in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship from 2026.
The team has three locations: Audi's Motorsport Competence Center in Neuburg, Germany; the Sauber Group's Formula 1 factory in Hinwil, Switzerland, known for its innovative technologies and passion for racing; and the Sauber Motorsport Technical Center in the UK.
The Power Unit comes from Neuburg, while Hinwil is responsible for the development of the chassis and race operations.
To succeed in this project, you need a winning mindset. Are you someone who refuses to give up and sees limits as challenges to overcome? If so, join us in shaping the future of motorsport.
