Audi's Formula 1 team faced a series of setbacks at the Miami Grand Prix sprint weekend, including two cars catching fire, a disqualification, and an early retirement. Nico Hülkenberg missed the sprint due to a pre-race fire, while Gabriel Bortoleto was disqualified post-race and later retired with his car ablaze. The incidents highlight ongoing reliability woes for the newcomer squad.
Mattia Binotto, Audi's F1 chief, described an unprecedented workload as the team prepares for its 2026 entry following a Barcelona shakedown marred by initial technical issues. Despite early power unit problems limiting drivers Gabriel Bortoleto and Nico Hulkenberg, the squad ended the week positively with significant mileage on Friday. Binotto emphasized the team's commitment to addressing every detail before further tests in Bahrain.
