Years ago, Toto Wolff and Mercedes sought to secure their domination into the next era of Formula 1, after the turbo hybrid era had run its course. For 2026, two teams would arrive with Audi and Honda power in F1. One would struggle immediately and prove the Austrian right...and one wouldn't as much. Audi don't act like a completely new operation, much bigger than the Sauber team they inherited.

Whilst glory isn't coming there imminently, Mattia Binotto and Neuberg have produced a power unit and operation which IS turning heads already. Hope for the future?

Audi aren't struggling, folks...
