Seidl reticent over Audi targeting Newey move for F1 venture

Seidl reticent over Audi targeting Newey move for F1 venture
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Sauber CEO Andreas Seidl has been reticent over Audi making a potential move to sign Formula 1 design genius Adrian Newey amid reports he could depart Red Bull.

Newey has been associated with Red Bull for almost two decades and delivered multiple title-winning cars, but speculation has emerged that he has decided to leave.

The Briton, 65, is set to have multiple suitors, with Aston Martin reported to have made a lucrative proposal last month, while Ferrari and Mercedes are also in the mix.

However, a possible alternative option outside those choices could be Audi’s nascent F1 operation, which will see the marque complete a takeover of Sauber in 2026.

Newey would be granted the chance to replicate his Red Bull path and propel an upstart in the sport – an automotive giant on this occasion – to championship success.

When Auto Motor und Sport put to him that F1’s most successful ever designer could be available soon, Seidl didn’t rule out Audi electing to pursue Newey’s signature.

“It is clear that there are one or two names in the Formula 1 circus that we would like to have in the team,” Seidl, who is overseeing Sauber’s transition into Audi, said.

“Someone who not only brings know-how but also attracts attention through his popularity.

“On the other hand, F1 is not a one-man show. It is important to us that we put together a strong team with the appropriate attitude with the aim of achieving something together.

“That’s why when filling key positions, we made sure that the relevant employees exemplified this culture.

“We are also highly attractive to top people from the scene, and I am sure that we have the right people at the start.”

Red Bull released a statement in response to the growing reports surrounding Newey’s future, stating that it was “unaware” that he could be reviewing potential options.

The Italian media has been insistent that Newey is not seeking a full-time technical position with his next move, with Ferrari considering a unique ‘super consultant’ role.
