As their debut Formula 1 season comes to a close, the Audi F1 project has officially announced the appointment of Thomas Fuhr as their new Chief Executive Officer, effective November 1. This strategic leadership change arrives as the team prepares to navigate its very first winter break as a fully-fledged F1 constructor on the grid.
Thomas Fuhr brings over 30 years of extensive engineering and high-level leadership experience to the organization. His impressive background includes serving as the Managing Director of Mercedes AMG High Performance Powertrains between 2009 and 2012, providing him with deep insights into top-tier motorsport engineering and hybrid power unit operations.
This structural adjustment allows Stefan Dreyer, Audi's Formula Racing Chief Technology Officer, to direct his complete focus toward advanced power unit development. Meanwhile, Christian Foyer will continue in his vital role as Chief Operating Officer, overseeing the team's day-to-day operations at their state-of-the-art headquarters in Neuburg.
Audi team principal Mattia Binotto expressed immense confidence in the new leadership addition, emphasizing the rigorous groundwork already established by the German manufacturer as they gear up for their official racing entry.
"We have built strong foundations in Neuburg, developing Audi’s first Formula 1 power unit from the ground up," Mattia Binotto stated regarding the team's ongoing developmental progress.
"As Thomas understands both the technical challenge and what it takes to build and lead high-performing teams, I am confident he will play a key role by further developing the team and its organisation to make us the best F1 manufacturer. I am very much looking forward to welcoming him to the team," he added.
The squad currently sits eighth in the Constructors’ Championship standings and is actively utilizing this leadership transition to climb the competitive order in the coming years. Dilansir dari Motorsport Week, the management overhaul highlights Audi's long-term commitment to establishing a formidable presence in premier single-seater racing.
