Audi has made an adjustment to the management structure of its Formula 1 project. In addition to his existing duties as head of Audi F1 Project, Mattia Binotto will now assume the responsibilities of team principal, with Jonathan Wheatley leaving the Audi Revolut F1 Team with immediate effect for personal reasons.
Wheatley had been part of the Audi F1 Project since April 2025. Together with Binotto, he built up the racing team at the Hinwil facility in Switzerland, which immediately scored points on its Formula 1 debut in early March.
“We are grateful to Jonathan Wheatley for his contribution to the project during the crucial entry phase and wish him all the best for the future,” said Gernot Döllner, CEO of Audi and chairman of the board of management of Audi Motorsport.
“Mattia Binotto and the team will continue to pursue the path we have chosen with determination. Our focus remains unchanged: we are concentrating all our efforts on building a team competing at the highest level that will challenge for world championships in Formula 1 by 2030. We will continuously develop our organizational structures to achieve our shared goal in a sustainable manner.”
