Founded in 1970 by Swiss engineer Peter Sauber, Sauber quickly became a respected and popular Formula One team, renowned for technical innovation, reliability, and talent development. After decades of successful competition and partnerships with Mercedes, Ferrari, and BMW, Sauber begans its transformation into a factory-backed works team under Audi. A minority stake was acquired in 2023, followed by full ownership by 2025. From the 2026 season onward, Sauber will compete as the Audi F1 Team, featuring Audi power units and branding, marking the next chapter in the team's rich motorsport history.
