Formula 1’s newest manufacturer has revealed the latest on its 2026 power unit
Audi has offered a first proper update of the progress it is making with its new Formula 1 engine, saying it is already covering race distances in dyno tests. The German manufacturer is gearing up for a works entry in 2026 when it will officially replace the Sauber team on the grid. And while it has kept relatively low-key so far in revealing how far advanced work was at its Neuburg headquarters, on Friday morning it revealed some details about where things were at.
Dreyer said: 'We run the power unit on the test bench with different layouts from the current F1 calendar, depending on the purpose of the test. “For example, Las Vegas is interesting for our development team in terms of overall energy management. Several alternating fast and slow corners and almost two kilometres of full throttle driving on the Las Vegas Strip provide the perfect development environment for fine-tuning the combustion engine and the ERS components.
