This move marks a shake-up in the management structure as Audi prepares for its 2026 debut. From August 1, Binotto will take on the dual roles of chief operating officer and chief technical officer, stepping into the hot seat to drive Audi’s F1 ambitions. This appointment comes on the heels of some major exits, with Sauber CEO Andreas Seidl and Oliver Hoffmann, previously chairman of the board of directors, departing the project. Why the sudden change of guard? It’s simple. Audi is ramping up its F1 preparations, and it's becoming increasingly clear that tighter control and enhanced infrastructure are critical. Currently, Sauber, the team Audi will be taking over, has yet to score a point this season - a situation Audi aims to dramatically improve.

The race at Interlagos saw World Champions Sébastien Buemi, Brendon Hartley, and Ryo Hirakawa clinch their first victory of the season in the #8 GR010 HYBRID. This victory is particularly poignant as it comes at the very venue where Toyota achieved its first-ever hybrid-powered WEC victory back in 2012. The pole position-winning #7 GR010 HYBRID, driven by Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi, and Nyck de Vries, faced a setback but managed a remarkable recovery to secure fourth place, earning 12 crucial World Championship points. A flawless performance, strategic teamwork, and superior tyre management contributed to TOYOTA GAZOO Racing’s second win of the year. This triumph narrows the gap to leaders Porsche to just four points in the manufacturers’ standings, with three races remaining in the season.

Only two MINI Cooper Electrics in the entire world (at the time of writing) are equipped with this avant-garde system. They go by cute names too - Jim and Jill.

Experiencing The Future Of Driving With MINI Mixed Reality

IN MINI, MINI Mixed Reality, Mixed Reality, Virtual, VR, Virtual Reality, Augmented, MINI Cooper, Technology

MINI debuted its "MINI Mixed Reality" technology at the international media launch of the all-new MINI Cooper Electric in Sitges, Spain.


MINI's first attempt at building an EV was well, a little bit mixed. Yes, the MINI Electric was agile and had a cosy interior, but the range was frankly pathetic, and it couldn't charge up very quickly. So, back to the drawing board, and this is attempt number two. The push towards electrification is a necessity driven by stringent regulations demanding a significant increase in the number of electric vehicles globally. MINI is stepping up to the plate, with last year’s electric sales making up 14% of its total.
