Audi's first season as a full works team — how's the ex-Sauber outfit doing?

Nach Jahren als Sauber-Kundenteam ist es jetzt offiziell ein Audi-Werksteam. Big statement of intent for German manufacturer pride, and I'll admit some bias here. The transition from customer power units to a full factory operation rarely goes smoothly in year one — Honda and Renault both had rocky starts as works entries historically. Worth tempering expectations even with the resources Audi is putting behind this. How's the midfield picture looking for them so far this season? Genuinely curious whether the extra investment is translating to lap time yet.
