Sauber to become Audi works F1 team from 2026 as partnership confirmed

Audi have reached an agreement with Sauber that will see the Swiss constructor become their works team from 2026.

Sauber currently runs under the banner of Alfa Romeo, and has done since 2019, but the partnership comes to an end at the end of the 2023 season. The team will then run with Ferrari power units - who currently supply the outfit - in 2024 and 2025 before Audi takes over the year afterwards.

German car manufacturer Audi had announced back in August that they would join Formula 1 as a power unit supplier once new regulations featuring increased electrical power and 100% sustainable fuels were introduced in four years. Prior to this year’s Mexican Grand Prix, Audi had also said Sauber would become their strategic partner and they planned to acquire a stake in the Sauber group.
