Sauber Motorsport has announced the opening of a Technology Centre at Bicester Motion.
The centre in Building 123 will provide a base where the team can support the Audi F1 Project’s head offices in Hinwil, Switzerland.
Mattia Binotto, head of Audi F1 project, said: “The opening of the Sauber Motorsport Technology Centre at Bicester Motion is a significant milestone as we prepare for Audi’s arrival in Formula 1.
“This facility will allow us to tap into the talent pool in Motorsport Valley and further strengthen our technical capabilities while being part of a thriving cluster at Bicester Motion where you live and breathe motorsport. The support it will play to Hinwil will be important to our long-term success.”
Daniel Geoghegan, chief executive of Bicester Motion, said: “We warmly welcome Sauber Motorsport in what is an exciting step in its Audi F1 transformation ahead of next year’s F1 season.
“It is thrilling that Bicester Motion has been chosen as their UK base connecting into their Swiss and German operations to support their vision to deliver sustainability, innovation, and maximum performance in motorsport.
“They join many other pioneering automotive and aviation companies, along with Motorsport UK, the governing body of this great industry, already based here. We look forward to seeing their team develop and their transformation on and off the track continue.”
