Honestly, having Hoffman take the marketing things could be a very good move. Jean Todt always said that keeping the press away from Ross Brawn was his most important job.
Yup! I'd add keeping di Montezemolo and the rest of the Ferrari suits away from the team was the other important part of his job. We've seen what happens when they take a more active involvement in running the Scuderia.
In other words, they got sticker shock at the cost of truly developing their own team and decided to just rebrand an existing team. Happens all the time.
For whatever reason I thought they were planning on buying 100% regardless, just staggered over 3 years (probably wrong about that though). What I’m curious to know is when are they going to be buying the full stake? Don’t they already have 50%?
Gutted by this news. Over the years, Sauber have been bought/renamed numerous times but behind the scenes, they've still maintained part ownership of the team. So unlike other teams that have been bought and then the new owners either cash problems or lack of interest, resulted in uncertain futures. Sauber have just resumed control and carried on, so yes maybe money might have been tight at times but they never seemed like they faced oblivion, unlike other teams. But now Audi has full control, it's like the BMW deal but without that safety net.
I overheard Audi will keep the name Audi but it’s actually Porsche who would be working on the engine, if that’s true, I think Porsche will have the better power unit on the grid, hopefully they can use their experience on the aerodynamics which is super important in F1
I don't wanna put my hopes up but usually when Audi joins a new championship, they are quite good at destroying all competition. I remember Group B, GT3 and some others
Audi: “What have you called yourselves this year?”
Sauber: “Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber”
Audi: “Ok so we are just going to buy the whole teams as we know you guys can’t be trusted with anything clearly”
lol they are going all in because of the incompetence of the sauber team (as well as sketchy sponsors)
Indeed, I hope they get rid of Stake/Kick as sponsor immediately, surely they don't want to be associated with that.
After Peter Sauber retirement the team name became ridiculous after Alfa Romeo title sponsor.
wdym? that sponsorship deal is giving 50mil+ a year, it's a win
I hope they'll keep the Sauber name, though. Possibly use it as Audi's performance brand (similar to AMG for Mercedes).
That’s a good way to Kick Sauber
😂
I was waiting for someone to say this, haha 😆
Good one 😂. Made me chuckle lol
They have total stake in the company now
@@elliotboudard6921I see what you did there

Maybe they’d have their budget cap waved if they were called Saudi 🤔
lmao
I had the same exact progression of thoughts 🤣🤣
😂😂😂
Their logo would be a bonesaw…
Probably necessary to send a message to Sainz that they are serious
Sainz? Really Audi is bigger than Some f1 driver , they can recruit Liam Alonso Perez and many more f2 gems like kimi , Bearman etc 😂

Audi title sponsorship 2025 incoming? 👀
Nah, Sauber will get some money from Stake and I guess Audi doesn't want to brand this tractor until they have to.
Their marketing team must know better than to put their logo in that tractor. They even made it green for god's sake.
They will play kerosene when they win 💀💀💀💀
So they bought rest of the stake and kicked sauber?
LMAO that is actually genius
Badum tss
That’s so funny
Kick and Stake are title sponsor. They never owned anything of the team.

Gosh, was kind of expecting Audi to pull the plug. Glad they're in. Good news for Carlos.
Expect Audi to bolt next week. These rumors fortell the company actually not investing. You'll see.
@@phil4986 your comment aged like milk so far, but things may change in the future, hard to know with VW group.
This is going to be insane 😍 Audi Sport has done great things.
Also, this means they are committed. ☺️
I am already genuinely scared of Audi in F1 tbh, knowing their long tradition and rich history in motorsport I think they're gonna create a dynasty of their own in F1 as well
That’s very possible
That is indeed a possibility and that would be pretty cool that a new comer shows those team how it's done. Please let Andretti come too!

I will miss sauber tbh bc the team was one of my favorites especially 2013-14 but it's good to see a new team coming
Definitely made with Sainz in mind
If The Audi team Crashes mfs Gonna do Edits with Kerosene 💀💀
Love the paint jobs of those cars, flashy and cool
Max vetstappen has been quiet after hearing this
I’m still shocked, I fully expected Audi to pull the plug in the 11th hour and leave Sauber twisting in the wind
This groove looks amazing super smooth & great racer of the future!!!
In other words, they got sticker shock at the cost of truly developing their own team and decided to just rebrand an existing team. Happens all the time.
Audi have done good things with Ducati in the Moto GP as well as their pedigree in rally, this should be interesting.
It's about time they did that.
Say what you like but that audi livery is beautiful
I hope they put that f1 engine into the s5/rs5s when they see it do work
The Lamborghini WEC hypercar is using the Sauber wind tunnel as well (Lambo is an Audi subsidiary).
VW
@@MartVan Lambo belongs to Audi, which belongs to VW, which belongs to Porsche SE, which is held by VW
all i could think about since i first saw the car is the sick livery
I just can’t wait to see it happen
It looks so good without any sponsors on the livery 😩😩
If you think they have no chance, remember RB was once Jaguar.
Because god forbid we run more than 20 cars on track at the same time
Audi never gets into any type of racing unless they are 100% they will win
We can only wish them the very best. It will not take them many seasons to get on a front running pace.
Happy to see another works team
That car does look good. Hope they keep that livery
Fun fact: Sauber is German for clean, clearly Audi "Saubered" this
Noooo not Sauber their livery is sick!
For whatever reason I thought they were planning on buying 100% regardless, just staggered over 3 years (probably wrong about that though).
What I’m curious to know is when are they going to be buying the full stake? Don’t they already have 50%?
that livery is kinda awesome ngl
First season it’ll probably be a bit behind but I’m sure after time it’ll be top 3.
I'd like to think that audi is seeing alpine just screwing around and thinking "we might need to step up quite a bit
Hopefully now that a german car brand joins F1 they will hopefully bring back the German GP again
It’s gonna be nice seeing a vw on the grid 😂
As an Audi driver am really looking forward to seeing Audi back in F1 always loved the brand
Brand new fan this year so i cant wait
This is going to be a hilarious corporate face-plant.
Hopefully a great move for everyone!
Audi: is that a pole💀💀
It's going to be rough !
This is going to be a game changer for F1.
Let’s go about time now we need Porsche also
👌Brilliant. The best engine of ever👌
Carlos gonna continue the family tradition of excellence with Audi
I only hope they come up with a better design livery than what they are showing here.
That livery is 🥵🥵
RIP Sauber.
Good luck Commander Riker !
Can't wait to see the take the track
The scope of the task Audi have is monumental.
If I’m honest, I wouldn’t be surprised if this wasn’t Audi’s plan all along.
Gutted by this news.

I also believe they want Carlos Sainz but Merc and Red Bull could also be after him
Honestly, maybe this seals the deal. There were some question marks around Audi's commitment not too long ago.
This could convince Sainz
@@TheTentacola yep I think you could be right
I know it’s out do the question with modern laws , but it would make me so happy to see Marlboro sponsored F1 cars.
Such an iconic F1 sponsor
"Stake F1 Team Kick Sauber"

Hope they realize that F1 isnt awd i already see the Audi F1 Quattro being proudly presented 😅
You can be sure there will be Voorsprung Durch Technic.
@@philiptownsend4026 haha, hoffentlich
would be awesome to have a new competitor team in F1 to give the others a kick!
But there's a lot of at stake.
Good to see they’re committed
Oh wow i remember when last year we were fully expecting audi to just completely back out. Im surprised to see this
A bit sad to see sauber go though.
With the current turmoil at Red Bull, maybe go for the Golden Goose and get Adrian Newey on the team.
A I am now a businessman
Now they’ll fight for p18 and p17
I really wish they keep the sauber name…
Sauber Audi, like when they were with BMW.
why, everything abt audi looks and sounds better than sauber
@@iman8738 Sauber has a LOT of history in F1
If Audi buys 100% of the team, I'd say it's also about 100% sure the team will be named just Audi.
@@truedarklanderalso in endurance racing le mans

The question is who is going to be the drivers

It’s a business decision. If you buy up all the brand rights you don’t offer free brand recognition to a former owner.
Will they be allowed to divebomb into and push other cars off the track in F1 as they are in DTM and 24h Nürburgring races? 👀
I don't wanna put my hopes up but usually when Audi joins a new championship, they are quite good at destroying all competition. I remember Group B, GT3 and some others
That worker who pushing the part on table he trying to prove that he's robot . Eyes front no movement other than walking 😅
so.. theres still going to be 10 teams on track?
that car looks beautiful
That's too close to papaya orange we won't be able to tell the difference 😮
Love it. Great news. Competition and development. Yes yes.
F1 cars are going to end up becoming big the same size as a minivan
If you remember all the Audis earlier motorsport engagements, they come to take over.
Fine to me as long it isnt kick or stake
I have no clue about F1.. but my guess is that F1 will drive mostly electric in 2026
Will it be a golf under the badge?
Is it me or does the wrap on the Audi f1 car have similar design characteristics to the wrap ken block had on his eletric audi gymkhana car?
Of course. It's the current Audi Motorsport design language in terms of liveries.
So alpine could now close their engine division and demand an audi engine??
It would be ruthless, but possibly a step forward.
