There is a big change in the Audi Formula 1 team. The Team Boss Jonathan Wheatley leaves the company now. He was only in office for a short time. The team has made only 2 races this season. Audi says: He leaves for personal reasons.

Jonathan Wheatley probably moves to a competitor. Experts think: He goes to the Aston Martin team. There he should work with his old friend Adrian Newey. Both won many titles with Red Bull before. The move is not completely sure yet.

Audi has already found a replacement. Mattia Binotto now takes over his tasks. He leads the whole Formula 1 project at Audi. Now he is also the boss at the race track. He was the boss at Ferrari before.

Audi wants to become World Champion by the year 2030. The fast change at the top is a surprise. The company is just building up the team. Before, the team was called Sauber. Now it belongs completely to Audi.
