Overview

• The Race reports that Red Bull’s Matt Caller has agreed to join Audi for a 2026 role, with neither Audi nor Red Bull confirming the move.
• Caller is expected to stay at Red Bull through the end of the season before switching teams, where he is tipped to become Audi’s chief mechanic.
• Lee Stevenson, currently serving as Sauber’s chief mechanic, is expected to be promoted into a more senior position under the new structure.
• Audi’s staffing push builds on earlier reports of recruiting Ferrari power-unit leaders Wolf Zimmermann and Lars Schmidt for its 2026 program.
• Team principal Jonathan Wheatley says the project is gaining momentum, with organizational changes planned over the winter and the Audi engine already running on the dyno as reliability work proceeds toward a December chassis–powertrain integration.
