在随队以绍伯名义参加超过600场大奖赛后，前车队经理贝亚特·泽恩德将离开奥迪F1车队
泽恩德1988年由创始人彼得·绍伯聘用，担任其跑车项目的机械师，并随绍伯车队于1993赛季初进入F1，迅速成为这支瑞士车队的重要一员。
他于次年成为车队经理，并连续参加了601场大奖赛。在担任车队经理和体育总监的实务角色中，Zehnder 始终处于索伯车队诸多起伏的核心位置，经历了车队作为独立车队以及作为宝马厂队的不同时期，其中在2008年加拿大大奖赛上由罗伯特·库比卡为欣维尔带来了唯一一场大奖赛胜利。
33年后，Zehnder 于去年离开，当时索伯正在筹备转型为奥迪厂队。
最近，Zehnder 作为特色项目与运营总监负责车队的传承活动，其中包括为奥迪新的接待套房进行筹备工作，并且仍偶尔出现在赛场上。
但奥迪现已宣布，这位60岁的老人将在年底离开车队。

“奥迪Revolut F1车队正式向比特·岑德致以诚挚感谢。在2027赛季前进行运营重组后，他将于2026年12月底离开车队。”车队在周五的一份声明中表示。
“多年来，比特一直是数百名在欣维尔工作过的车队成员和车手的导师。
“在他任职期间，他经历了在这项要求极高的运动中工作的高潮与低谷，但从未失去职业精神、不懈的竞争意志和求胜欲望。他离开时，名下已有36场世界跑车锦标赛比赛和连续601场一级方程式比赛的记录。”
“我们感谢他39年来的杰出服务，并祝愿他未来一切顺利。”
为纪念他作为F1车队经理的传奇任期结束，Zehnder去年接受了Motorsport.com的采访，畅谈他丰富的职业生涯以及在一支F1最后的独立车队中的冒险经历。

Audi pays tribute as F1 stalwart Beat Zehnder set for exit
Following over 600 grands prix with the team in its Sauber guise, former team manager Beat Zehnder leaves Audi's Formula 1 squad
The Audi Formula 1 team has announced that former team manager Beat Zehnder is leaving the organisation at the end of the 2026 season after a 34-year stint at Hinwil.
Zehnder was hired by founder Peter Sauber in 1988 as a mechanic for its sportscar programme and moved with Sauber to F1 at the start of the 1993 season, quickly becoming an integral part of the Swiss outfit.
He became team manager the following year and was there for 601 consecutive grands prix. In his hands-on role as team manager and sporting director, Zehnder was at the heart of Sauber's many highs and lows through its various stints as an independent team and its period as a BMW works squad, which yielded Hinwil's only grand prix win with Roberto Kubica at the 2008 Canadian Grand Prix.
After 33 years, Zehnder stepped away last year as Sauber prepared its transformation into the Audi works operation.
Most recently, Zehnder led the team’s heritage activities as Director Signature Programs & Operations, which included preparation work for Audi's new hospitality suite, and was still occasionally seen at races.
But Audi has now announced the 60-year-old is set to depart the team at the end of the year.

"Audi Revolut F1 Team places on record its sincere thanks to Beat Zehnder, who will leave the team at the end of December 2026 following the restructuring of its operations ahead of the 2027 season," the team said in a statement on Friday.
"Beat has been a mentor to hundreds of team members and drivers who have passed through Hinwil over the years.
"During his tenure he enjoyed both the highs and lows of working in such a demanding sport, never losing his professionalism, his relentless competitive streak and desire to win. He steps away with 36 World Sportscar Championship races and 601 consecutive Formula 1 races to his name.
"We thank him for 39 years of outstanding service and wish him all the very best for the future."
To mark the end of his legendary stint as an F1 race team manager, Zehnder caught up with Motorsport.com last year to talk about his storied career and adventures with one of F1's last independent teams.
