Audi has outlined plans for a new Formula 1 campus in Hinwil, with full completion scheduled for 2030.

GPBeat · Newsroom01 Oct 2026, 09:45 · 1 min

RacingNews365 reports that the proposed campus will be built in Hinwil, Switzerland, less than a kilometre from Audi’s current Formula 1 base. Parts of the new site became operational in summer 2026, and the full development is scheduled for completion in 2030.

The existing base is set to stay in use during construction. Audi then plans to turn it into a manufacturing centre and wind-tunnel facility. Audi F1 chief executive and team principal Mattia Binotto said the new campus should help the team attract and retain staff, calling the chance to design a facility from scratch rare in modern F1.

The expansion will not replace Audi’s other technical sites: power-unit work will remain in Neuburg, Germany, and the team plans to retain its centre in Bicester, England.
