In a groundbreaking move, Audi is set to establish a base in the UK for its highly anticipated entry into Formula 1, with former Ferrari mastermind, Mattia Binotto, leading the charge.

The German giant’s F1 project is rapidly taking shape, with the official debut scheduled for 2026. Binotto, as the head of the Audi F1 project, will oversee development activities at the Hinwil and Neuburg an der Donau facilities, as well as the future technical center to be based in England. This move mirrors the setup seen at Renault, with power unit production in Viry-Chatillon and the team headquarters in Enstone.

Audi is streamlining its operational units under a unified management structure within the Formula 1 project, aiming for even greater integration. With less than ten months until their grand entry into the pinnacle of motorsport, the close coordination of development activities is crucial for seamless teamwork in car and power unit development.

Christian Foyer has joined the board of Audi Formula Racing GmbH as the head of F1 hybrid powertrain, focusing on operational processes as the Chief Operating Officer. His extensive experience in F1 engineering and project management makes him a valuable addition to the team.

The restructuring will see the elimination of the CEO position, with Stefan Dreyer taking on the role of CTO and spokesperson for the board at AFR, overseeing power unit development at Neuburg. Meanwhile, Jonathan Wheatley has been appointed Team Principal of Sauber Motorsport AG, working closely with Binotto to shape the future Audi F1 Team and represent the brand in strategic F1 Commission meetings.

The strategic reshuffle and influx of top-tier talent signal Audi’s serious intent and commitment to making a mark in Formula 1. With Binotto at the helm and a powerhouse team supporting him, the automotive world is on the edge of its seat, eagerly anticipating Audi’s Formula 1 debut in 2026.
