Canceled: Audi's F1 entry means it won't be returning to Le Mans in the LMDh class.
It's been the stuff of rumors for years but Audi on Friday finally confirmed its intention to compete in the Formula 1 World Championship starting from 2026.
Audi won't go it alone but will partner with an existing team whose identity will be revealed later this year but is expected to be Sauber, which currently competes in F1 as Alfa Romeo. Audi will supply the power unit, development of which will be handled at Audi Sport's facility in Neuburg an der Donau, Germany. Overseeing the development will be Adam Baker, who has served as an FIA safety director in recent years and previously worked with Cosworth when it produced F1 power units, as well as with Sauber when it competed in F1 with BMW.
Baker will report to Rolf Michl, Audi Sport's current chief operating officer of racing. Michl will take over the lead role at Audi Sport from current chief Julius Seebach on Sept. 1.
