Audi ‘ready’ to supply engines to teams if required by FIA

Audi ‘ready’ to supply engines to teams if required by FIA
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Audi says that it would be “ready” to supply Power Units to customer teams if it is called upon to do so by the FIA.

Audi will enter the sport in 2026 with its own engine, while it will work in partnership with the Sauber Group who will construct the car’s chassis.

The German manufacturer plans to take a major stake in the Sauber organisation ahead of its 2026 entry and has set a goal of winning races in its third year of competition.

However, it may be required to give other teams its Power Unit if an outfit doesn’t have a deal in place.

F1’s regulations state that the manufacturer that has the fewest amount of customers will be required to supply a team with its Power Units, if the FIA is called to intervene.

Speaking to AS, Audi Formula Racing CEO Adam Baker says that it would have the facilities in place to work with the FIA if needed.

“We may be required by the FIA to supply engines according to the rules,” he said. 

“If that happens, we would be ready, for sure. But at the moment we are not looking for a customer team, it’s too early for that. We will focus on our program as a factory.”

Audi has several years to prepare for its entry, which Baker hopes will give it an advantage for the 2026 campaign.

“We are aware of the challenge ahead of us,” he said. “It is attractive for Audi to enter in 2026 because we decided early. 

“We have 42 months until the first race. In the last 30 years, it must be one of the earliest decisions of any manufacturer. 

“Also, 2026 is the start of a regulatory cycle, when usually others have entered in the middle of a cycle. They will change the power units, but also the chassis. 

“In a way, it can reset the advantage of competitors with past experience, and makes it easier for new constructors to be competitive.”
