Audi Formula 1 leadership appointment
Overview
Audi has appointed Thomas Fuhr as the CEO of Audi Formula Racing GmbH, effective November 1, 2026. The appointment is intended to strengthen the leadership of the manufacturer’s Formula 1 power unit program at the Neuburg an der Donau facility.
The restructuring aims to separate organizational leadership from technical development. This allows Chief Technology Officer Stefan Dreyer to focus on technical power unit development, while Chief Operating Officer Christian Foyer continues to oversee daily site operations.
Fuhr possesses over 30 years of engineering and executive experience, including a previous role as Managing Director of Mercedes-AMG High Performance Powertrains from 2009 to 2012.
