Audi has responded to Andreas Seidl's arrival at Sauber. The former McLaren team boss has chosen to take up a new challenge and join his new team as CEO. It creates a lot of satisfaction at Audi.

Although it is still a few years away, Sauber and Audi are gearing up for the upcoming partnership in 2026. Behind the scenes, therefore, they are busy laying a solid foundation for the future, with bringing in Seidl seen as a plus.

"We welcome our future partner’s choice," Audi in a press release knows. "Seidl has extensive experience in leadership roles across motorsport programs on both the manufacturer and Formula 1 team side. His track record in motorsport is impressive."

Several shifts with team bosses

The news comes after the departure of Frederic Vasseur, who will succeed Mattia Binotto at Ferrari next calendar year. However, his team had everything ready to push Seidl forward immediately. It makes for quite a few shifts with the policymakers for 2023.
