Jonathan Wheatley is aiming to install a big-team mentality at Sauber before it completes its switch to Audi from 2026 – although the former Red Bull sporting director admits it will take “years” to get to the top of Formula 1.
Having left Red Bull two years ago, Wheatley has now started his new role as team principal of Sauber, which finished bottom of the constructors’ championship last year and currently occupies the same spot after the opening five races of 2025.
