Our Team
Welcome to the Audi F1 Project.
Audi will be competing in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship from 2026.
The new team has two locations. Audi's Motorsport Competence Center in Neuburg (Germany) is considered one of the most modern of its kind in Europe. The Sauber Group's Formula 1 factory in Hinwil (Switzerland) is known for its innovative technologies and passion for racing. The Power Unit comes from Neuburg, while Hinwil is responsible for the development of the chassis and race operations. The planned takeover by AUDI AG turns two teams into a factory team – and you can be part of it.
What you need? The mindset of an athlete. If you are someone for whom giving up isn’t an option and limits are just something to be overcome, you can bring Vorsprung durch Technik to Formula 1 with us. Become part of this unique project and make motorsport history.
The position for the Audi F1 Project is at Audi Formula Racing GmbH in Neuburg (Germany).
The Programme Management acts as a central unit of Audi Formula Racing GmbH. We form the interface between the technical areas, the supply chain and the financial management of the company. Therefore, we are responsible for the complex project management for the development and production of the Audi F1 powertrain. We operate in a highly exciting, always time-critical and rapidly changing environment. Through intensive co-operation, we ensure transparency to achieve the project goals and identify project risks at an early stage. In addition to high personal standards, a willingness to communicate and team performance, we also prioritise enjoyment at work! Due to the interdependence of many different topics in our area of responsibility, close co-operation and a high degree of openness are prerequisites for our successful work.
