Sauber to Open UK Hub After 2024 F1 Struggles

Sauber Motorsport is establishing a new technical center in the UK to support its transition into the Audi Formula 1 factory team by 2026. This move aims to leverage the extensive motorsport expertise available in the UK's 'Motorsport Valley,' where seven out of F1's ten teams are based. The new facility, set to open in summer 2025, will complement Sauber's existing sites in Hinwil, Switzerland, and Neuburg, Germany. This strategic expansion is intended to attract engineering talent and form a robust collaborative network across its global operations. The team's decision comes after finishing last in the 2024 constructors' championship, highlighting the need for growth and innovation. Potential UK locations include Bicester, Silverstone, and Milton Keynes.
