Audi has made the right decision to team up with Sauber for 2026, according to Ross Brawn. Brawn – a well-known engineer, team executive and even team owner – is now managing director of Liberty Media-owned Formula 1’s sports division. It is rumoured that he intends to step down long before Volkswagen-owned Audi teams up with the Swiss-based team Sauber for their 2026 works collaboration. “They can be very successful thanks to joining with an existing team,” he told f1-insider.com. They didn’t succeed because they didn’t take knowledge from an existing team and combine it with their own technology. “Sauber has a very good wind tunnel too, which we (F1) also used to construct our models for the current rules,” Brawn added.
