Formula 1: Jonathan Wheatley Leaves Audi With Immediate Effect
Team Principal Jonathan Wheatley: Formula 1's latest entrant, Audi, has confirmed that Team Principal Jonathan Wheatley has left the organisation immediately, less than a year after he took charge. Wheatley, a long-time member of Red Bull Racing, joined the project in April last year.
He took on a leadership role at Kick Sauber as the team prepared to transition into a full works Audi entry for the 2026 season. His early time showed promise. He oversaw a steady climb up the grid, which included multiple points finishes and a historic first podium for Nico Hulkenberg at Silverstone.
He also played a key role in guiding Sauber through its transformation into Audi’s factory-backed team over the winter. This marked a historic shift, signalling the German manufacturer’s official entry into Formula 1 as both a chassis and power unit builder. The project started on a positive note, with the team securing points on their debut under the new identity.
