Discover why Audi's entry into Formula 1 might not match Red Bull's meteoric rise to success. With significant challenges ahead and high expectations, Audi's journey is filled with intrigue and potential pitfalls. Despite their ambitious plans, attracting top-tier drivers like Carlos Sainz has proven difficult, hinting at deeper issues within the team's structure and strategy. We'll dive into the essential technical and strategic preparations needed for Audi to thrive, including substantial investments in staff, equipment, and understanding new F1 regulations.
Drawing comparisons to historical F1 giants like Ferrari, who took years to achieve championship success despite having top talents like Michael Schumacher, we'll explore whether Audi has what it takes to compete at the highest level. Insights from F1 legends like Gerhard Berger, who witnessed Red Bull's early struggles and eventual dominance, highlight the long-term nature of becoming competitive in this sport. We'll also examine the example of Brawn GP's success, made possible by prior Honda development, to understand the complexities and preparation required for a new team to excel.
Market pressures and fierce competition further complicate Audi's path, as F1 management's criteria for new teams emphasize the difficulty of immediate success. This video uncovers whether Audi can overcome these odds and make a significant mark in the world of Formula 1. With in-depth analysis and expert insights, we'll reveal the uphill battle Audi faces and whether they can truly transform Sauber into a powerhouse.

It is worth pointing out that much like Audi both Peugeot and Toyota entered F1 with high ambitions and being established players elsewhere, yet they floped at the 'pinnacle of motorsport'. Peugeot didn't had the best reliability track record as an engine supplier to McLaren, Jordan and Prost and 1994 for Peugeot will be remembered with the constant engine blowups. Toyota had a budget that was rivaling the big boys and state of art facilities, which were unfortunately located in Cologne, Germany (whereas most of the workforce is based in the UK). And all they had to show for it were the occasional podium here and there between 2005 and 2009.

The ticket prices are getting ridiculous. The closest grand prix to me is Vegas, and it's $1500 for a single seat where you can actually see the race, since the "general admission" seats don't come with anywhere to actually see the race. Meanwhile, I can drive TWENTY SIX HOURS to Texas and watch it for $400 in the grass with a shade umbrella and a cooler. Guess which one I'm going to? I hope they keep failing to sell tickets. We need to start a petition to lower F1 ticket prices and get all the big F1 youtubers to talk about it. Maybe if we get 500k-1mil signatures, Liberty Media will realize they actually could sell out if they just had some lower end pricing. Miami's prices were way more reasonable, and look at the attendance. I think Vegas will have a hard time filling seats for $1500 this year.

[@NexuJin]

It's double sided. As older F1 fan it's a shame to see some of the classic tracks vanishing from the calendar. At the same time we see new tracks being added that are over priced. Also, if you had to drive 26 hours to Texas. Why not just take a flight to Europe and watch a race there. Also probably less hot than being in Texas.

Sauber were a very friendly team in the 2000s and early 2010s when I ran an F1 site, I got on their press list, they invited me to launches and testing sessions, even though I was totally an amateur, no press creds, nothing. I have a HUGE fondness for the team and Peter Sauber, sadly they are on the wane but, as a well known Disney property would say… “this is the way”. They will be gone, they won’t be forgotten.

Funny thing is, when people were mocking RB for buying Jaguar, “a drinks company buying an F1 team”, they clearly had forgotten that 10 - 12 year prior a clothing company that bought an F1 team won two WDC titles and 1 WCC. What is it again? History doesn’t repeat itself, but it rhymes? People are way too full of themselves.

[@ivaneurope]

Also, it is worth pointing out that Red Bull has been sponsoring F1 teams since the mid-90's - starting in 1995 with Sauber and even had shares in the team until 2001 when they sold them to Credit Suisse after Peter Sauber signed a then unknown commodity in Kimi Räikkönen over Enrique Bernoldi, who was Helmut Marko's choice. This proved to be the right decision as Kimi would go on to score 21 wins and the 2007 WDC, while Bernoldi had a forgetable year and a half with the Arrows team (the team folded halfway through his second season). Red Bull did try to buy Arrows from Tom Walkinshaw in 2002 before the team went bust, but there was some mumbo jumbo with TW owing money to many people and the deal never went through. And when the opportunity to buy Jaguar's ailing F1 team for pennies on the Dollar, they jumped on it. So yeah, 'that drinks company' was very serious on its intention to own one day a F1 team. And I'd argue that Benetton's success had inspired Red Bull to eventually own a F1 team.

[@calumbishop7082]

I mean as Alpine-Renault are showing, being a works team is no guarantee of success. Also like Renault, Audi will only have the one team, one advantage Mercedes and Ferrari have, is that they have multiple customer teams allowing them to get even more data to improve their engines season on season. The engine supplier with Red Bull (for now Honda, and soon Ford) also have that advantage due to Red Bull inexplicably having two teams. Audi won't have that, and with F1 seemingly completely unwilling to admit new teams, that's not going to change anytime soon. Audi could find themselves in a similar position to where Renault is if they aren't careful.

[@dward596]

The difference is all the good personnel don’t want to go to Alpine, they will want to go to Audi, there will be no background politics, no interference from above unless it’s necessary, no skimping on budget and you can bet all the good engineers, team principals ect want to go to Audi, they’ve won every championship they’ve entered, they’re not going to be another Toyota

They answer to themselves, no parts deal no engine deals they have full control over their car and that is half the battle! No out side arm twisting, look at Aston Martin and Honda pairing up! Lances days are numbered! 2026 will be Lances last go at it! After that Honda will insist a drive they approve! 3. Nico is their German driver, let’s wait and see who gets the next drive!

I think as long that Andreas Seidl is pulling the strings behind the scenes, you shouldnt underestimate them. Of course now they are sh*t but in the long term it will pay of, he did it with porsche in the WEC and with McLaren when they were complete sh*t. It will take some time but Mr. Seidl and his Team will perform, its almost like u can say its the "Seidl-Effect". he even changed the machines for tire changes during the pit stops so they can get a tenth their. Always the same "Sauber is a backmarker now" "Audi wont perform" and so on and so on... Just have some trust in the process, and give Audi some time, of course the commitment came a little late but the team will be good if they have patience and a second driver that can give solid feedback like Hulkenberg. Just trust the procces like williams and McLaren did

[@MrPeterheveran]

I would agree about getting up to speed for a new team normally but Audi have a history of entering a new class of racing and being damn near the front very quickly. IMSA, touring cars, rally and Dakar. If any team can do it and do it quickly. It's Audi.

[@ivaneurope]

And here's the main problem - in all series where Audi had entered, manufacturers were free to do what they want? 4WD in rallying? No problem. Turbodiesel V10 (when it was still cool) at Le Mans? Sure, why not. But F1 is a bit different - nowadays is a bit too restrictive in both technical and aerodynamic aspects. It's no longer the free-for-all approach where you can have a variety of engine configurations (6, 8, 10 or 12 cylinders in a V, flat, or even W configuration if you want to be funky to name a few) and car designs. Now, the only way you can differentiate cars from one another is through their liveries, but even that has been tricky as of late with blue, red, white and black (or unpainted carbon) are the prefered main colors of choice. Only McLaren and Aston Martin are distinguishable enough.

[@NiclasHorn]

Audi´s "track record" the last 5-10 years in other motor sport classes show Audi have really good potential being up there within 3 years. sure ofc nothing is granted. but i still think Audi can be a good solution for Carlos. For sure Berger knows what he is talking about, but i still think people "down play" Audi to much.

[@iSkyline1]

True, all Berger said was basically "They will take some time to get up to speed"...that's it. Many F1-fans are so full of themselves, interpreting and hypothesizing about things they hardly know anything about when the best thing we can all do is guess how things will play out.

Any motorsport class Audi has entered they have done well and gone on to dominate so there is some pedigree.

A advantage Audi does have is they have a present ICE that meets the 2026 regs and they have a Formula E programme that is running well so the electric side of things wont be a complete mystery.

Probably the only reason why F1 is happy about Audi joining, is because of all the cash that they brought by revamping an existing team, and why Andretti still isn't allowed, because most of his investments come in the form of factories and personnell, not by buying up their property. I still don't get it though, they have more than 10 teams in F2, F3 has like 30 drivers, F1 has had more than 10 teams before, what's the hold up? Liberty should make a bigger pie for the teams, rather than the teams having to cut smaller slices, it's a sport as much as it is a business, balance it better.

Didn’t red bull take like a decade to get good or am I missing something remembering?

[@YouTube2021FM]

The flagship team in 2008 didn’t do as well as the Jr team because the Jr team had the same car with a better Ferrari engine. Once again, Renault makes bad engines

I would argue that Andretti is more prepared and positioned than Audi....

[@RedWeather2004]

They'll best be another Force India

If Carlos doesn't get a move on and sign something there will be no contracts on the table. He's already screwed his career

[@lithyy2972]

could Audi take Daniel Ricciardo? not like hulk and Ric haven't worked together before and both senior drivers could be a platform, not to mention the financials.

I believe it now it’s vw purchasing a Formula One team The whole reason why Volkswagen is not end in 24 hours of Le Mans anymore what’s the nice fancy dancy Audi R18 Diesel hybrid What is because they cheated on an emissions test and if you have a small V6 or 4 cylinder he cannot burn the sulfur dioxide off only a V10 and V12 burn the sulfur dioxide and pollute clean water vapor out of the exhaust Volkswagen is banned from Le Mans and for a company that did a mistake, trying to come onto Formula One and kind of clean up the history I don’t know what is the vw group is trying to achieve I used to love Volkswagen, but I was a kid I used to love the Le Mans Lmp1 R18 Diesel hybrid some much my BABA had a VW Passat TDI which is based off of the diesel technology from the R18 With the recall, for Volkswagen All TDI That broke my heart I remember I was 15 at the time, and I cried. 😢 So many of us motorsport enthusiast, thought that diesel is the fuel of the future But we were deceived lie to Me personally, I do not care about the Audi Formula One team Volkswagen of my heart and I will never ever purchase a Volkswagen product

Personally I'm not a Porsche/Audi fan for the fact if they cannot absolutely dominate in a motorsports series they will take their ball and leave.
