Sauber has announced the signing of experienced engineer Stefano Sordo in the newly created performance director role to bolster its Formula 1 backroom staff.
The Hinwil-based outfit has added a number of high-profile hirings over the past 18 months as it gears up to become the Audi works team in 2026, including the additions of former McLaren duo Andreas Seidl as CEO and James Key as technical director. After a difficult start to the new F1 season, Sauber has bolstered its thinktank with the arrival of Sordo in a role that will see the Italian answer directly to Key, and follows on from rival teams in creating multiple-pronged management structures.
