Despite financial challenges plaguing its parent company, the Volkswagen Group, Audi has reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to Formula 1.
In a move that strengthens the German manufacturer's project, Audi has confirmed its strategic partnership with the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), to which it has sold a minority stake in its Sauber F1 team.
Addressing concerns at the Qatar Grand Prix, Audi CEO Gernot Dollner emphasized that the partnership wasn't a cost-saving measure due to Volkswagen's struggles.
