Reports emerged in the French media recently, indicating that Audi might be contemplating a withdrawal from its planned takeover of the F1 team. These rumors suggested that the issue would be put to a vote with the company board at an upcoming meeting.
However, when approached for comment, an Audi spokesperson categorically denied these rumors. The statement from Audi emphasized the commitment to their F1 entry in 2026, stating, “Audi’s F1 entry in 2026 is based on a decision of the Board of AUDI AG in alignment with the Supervisory Board of AUDI AG, as well as the Board and the Supervisory Board of Volkswagen Group.”
