SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium : Audi’s decision to enter Formula One from 2026 is a ringing endorsement of the sport's new power unit rules and broader push to clean up its environmental footprint for a more sustainable future.
"I think it’s perfect timing due to the new rules that are established now for us to enter F1," Audi chairman Markus Duesmann told a news conference. They will be less complex, with the rules doing away with the MGU-H element that recovers energy from exhaust gases, and less expensive with a cost cap imposing restrictions on development running.
Honda has officially withdrawn from the sport but continues to supply Red Bull and sister team AlphaTauri with power units as part of a support deal that extends to the end of 2025."We are totally convinced that the choice we have taken is the right one and will enable from a technological, sustainable and economic perspective to have and keep on board the actual teams and manufacturers and add more," said F1 chief executive Stefano Domenicali.
