In 2026, Audi will become the supplier of power plants for Sauber, which will then actually become the factory team of the German group. Valtteri Bottas has no doubt that the upcoming partnership will allow Sauber to become one of the leading teams in Formula 1.
Valtteri Bottas: “The team has the necessary potential for this. We have quite a few young employees who think out-of-the-box, which is great. We have excellent equipment and a top-notch wind tunnel at our base.
Of course, compared to Red Bull or Mercedes, we have quite a small team, but I know that everything will change – with more financial possibilities we will be able to hire more specialists. For example, in 2022, the manufacturing process of new parts took quite a long time, but if we can change this, then the season for us will develop according to a different scenario.
In the first half of last season I built my work in the team based on past experience. When I saw something I said to the team: “The guys who are on the opposite side of the paddock to us behave differently in such cases.” I have tried to transfer all my experience to the team.”
