Audi F1 Team will keep Kick Sauber’s current driver lineup of Nico Hülkenberg and Gabriel Bortoleto.
The new team will have its engine headquarters in Germany, with the racecar continuing to be designed at Sauber’s Switzerland facility.
Audi originally announced it was entering Formula 1 as a powerhouse in 2026, but it later announced it would completely takeover the Sauber team as it aquired a stake in the brand.
Kick Sauber currently sits sixth in the constructor standings with 43 points. Hulkenberg recently scored a podium at Silverstone, his first podium ever in 14 years in Formula 1.
