Picture this: You’re part of the team launching Audi’s first factory F1 car in 2026. The garage buzzes, the hybrid engine hums—and you helped create it. If that thought gives you goosebumps, let’s talk how real people are making it happen.
The Big Dream: Audi’s Building an F1 Team From Scratch
This isn’t just another team entry. Audi’s all-in:
Taking over Sauber Motorsport to create their official factory squad.
Spreading talent across three nerve centers:
Neuburg, Germany: Where the hybrid power units come to life.
Hinwil, Switzerland: Home of the chassis and race ops (Sauber’s legendary wind tunnel is here!).
Bicester, UK: Their new UK tech hub—right in the heart of “Motorsport Valley.”
Think of it as a German-Swiss-British supergroup. And they need you.
Your Spot in the Garage
No, you don’t need to be a driver. Audi needs builders, thinkers, and problem-solvers:
Powertrain Pros: Combustion geeks, battery whisperers, engine assemblers with golden hands.
Aero & Design Artists: People who see airflow like a painter sees light.
Race Weekend Warriors: Data magicians, tire specialists, logistics heroes.
The Glue Crew: IT, HR, procurement—the ones who keep the wheels turning (literally).
300+ UK roles will open soon. That’s 300 chances to get in early.*
Why Now’s Your Golden Moment
Audi’s hiring like crazy—and it’s your window:
200+ Audi Sport veterans already jumped onboard.
50+ big names snatched from rivals (Red Bull, Mercedes… ouch).
Sauber’s team DOUBLED in size since 2022 (220 → 500+).
They’re hungry for talent. Especially if you speak “hybrid powertrains” or “carbon fiber.”
The Humans Leading the Charge
Meet your future bosses (no capes, just sharp minds):
Mattia Binotto (ex-Ferrari): The mastermind behind the whole operation.
Jonathan Wheatley (ex-Red Bull): The guy calling shots on race day.
Andreas Seidl (ex-McLaren): The architect building Audi’s F1 DNA.
These folks eat pressure for breakfast. Want to join them?
What Audi’s Really Looking For
Hint: It’s not just your degree. They want:
Hybrid obsession: Know your ERS from your ECU? Speak up.
Real-world grit: F1/Le Mans/Formula E experience? Gold star.
Language of speed: CAD, simulation tools, data fluency.
Team glue: Can you thrive in a German-Swish-English mashup?
“They’ll take a passionate apprentice over a bored PhD any day.”
How to Actually Get Noticed
Forget spraying resumes like confetti. Do this instead:
Stalk MotorsportJobs: Audi’s roles drop there first (search “Audi Formula Racing”).
Bookmark Audi’s Newsroom: audi-mediacenter.com (turn on alerts).
LinkedIn Hustle: Connect with Audi recruiters. Comment intelligently on their posts.
UK-Based?: Bicester roles kick off mid-2025. Set a phone reminder now.
Straight Talk: Is This For You?
If you:
Lose sleep over torque curves
Sketch aerodynamic fixes on coffee-stained napkins
Believe “impossible” is just a pit stop
…then this is your era.
Audi isn’t just building a car. They’re building a legacy—and you could be part of it.
“The best time to apply was yesterday. The second best? Right now.”
