Overview
- Audi confirmed Allan McNish as Racing Director on Friday, with his duties starting at next week’s Miami Grand Prix.
- His brief covers all race-weekend activity at the circuit, including sporting decisions, engineering coordination, driver management, race strategy, garage operations, and on-track media and partner work.
- He reports to CEO and team principal Mattia Binotto, who kept overall charge after Jonathan Wheatley’s March exit and is focusing his own time on the factory and power-unit program.
- McNish, a three-time Le Mans winner and former Audi Formula E team boss, will continue to lead Audi’s Driver Development Programme alongside the new role.
- The restructure comes early in Audi’s first season under its own name, with the team eighth after three races and targeting steady gains toward a stated aim of contending for titles by 2030.
