[1] At the beginning of 1996 Audetto joined Tom Walkinshaw's Ligier operation in F1 but within a few weeks Walkinshaw split with the French team, which was controlled by Flavio Briatore at the time, and bought a majority shareholding in the Arrows F1 team; Audetto, along with many others, followed him and joined Arrows.

The following year he joined Renault F1 to coordinate the engine department and later became the business development director.

He left the team at the end of 2003 for Menard, where he was the Vice President and Commercial Director.
