Audi expressed interest in inviting Carlos Sainz

Adam Baker, the head of the Audi project in Formula 1, spoke about whether the team is ready to invite Carlos Sainz in 2026. 

Adam Baker: "It would be great if Carlos Sainz collaborated with us. It is very good, but it is very far from 2026. We understand that everyone is interested in the names of the riders, but it is difficult to say how events will develop between now and 2026. However, for a project like ours, it is very important to cooperate with professionals in their field”.

Earlier, Audi officially announced that they would join Formula 1 in 2026 as an engine supplier. In addition, it was reported that the company will buy 75% of the shares of Sauber for about $ 450 million. 

Sauber's cooperation with Alfa Romeo will end at the end of the 2023 season.
