Combustion Development Engineer

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. The Audi Motorsport Competence Center in Neuburg (Germany) is one of the most modern facilities 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 the chassis is being developed in Hinwil. The takeover by AUDI AG turns two teams into one manufacturing 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.
