F1 Beyond The Grid: Mattia Binotto's 2026 Interview
On this episode of the F1 Beyond The Grid Podcast, Audi Team Principal Mattia Binotto tells Tom Clarkson how he plans to transform the former Sauber squad into Formula 1 World Championship contenders by 2030.
Mattia explains the ingredients that made Ferrari dominant in the early 2000s and how he aims to apply the same ambition‑driven approach to Audi, insisting his team isn't on the grid just to take part.
He also discusses why drivers Gabriel Bortoleto and Nico Hulkenberg are perfect for the project, whether Audi could become a destination for a megastar like Max Verstappen, and—perhaps most importantly—whether he'll get a tattoo for the team's first race win.
