Audi have reached an agreement with Sauber to make the Swiss Formula 1 operation their works team from 2026. The German manufacturer previously announced in August that it would be joining F1 as a power unit supplier in 2026. The partnership will see Audi create their power unit at their base in Neuburg in Germany. While Sauber will develop and manufacture their race car at its headquarters in Hinwil, Switzerland. Sauber will also be responsible for planning and executing the race operations. This partnership will bring the team to new heights, guaranteeing at the same time the long-term future of the company, Sauber. Sauber will continue to compete under the Alfa Romeo name in 2023 and is expected to revert to Sauber for 2024 and 2025. The team will also continue to use Ferrari power units until the 2026 season.
