Audi Unveils Official Team Name and 2026 Livery Reveal Date

This announcement marks a key milestone in Audi’s long-awaited entry into the pinnacle of motorsport, signaling the brand’s transition from strategic planning to tangible competition readiness.

Audi Revolut F1 Team

Audi revealed that its F1 operation will compete under the name Audi Revolut F1 Team, reflecting a title partnership with global financial technology company Revolut. The collaboration unites Audi’s racing ambitions with Revolut’s global reach and innovation focus, bringing both brands together as Audi takes the next step in establishing its presence in top-tier motorsport.

The announcement included the reveal of the team’s official logo, providing the first public visual identity for Audi’s F1 project. This identity is intended to represent the team’s core values of clarity, technical intelligence, and emotional engagement.

Strategic Context for Entry

Audi’s entry into Formula 1 has been in development for several years, with the company acquiring a stake in the Sauber team and planning to compete as a full factory team. Under the terms of this strategic integration, Sauber Motorsport AG will be renamed Audi Motorsport AG as part of the transformation of the team structure.

This development coincides with significant regulatory changes in Formula 1 that are expected to reshape the competition landscape, making 2026 a landmark year for technical innovation and new manufacturer involvement.

What Comes Next

Following the January 20 launch, Audi will continue preparations for its debut season, including finalizing the competitive livery, conducting pre-season testing, and participating in winter testing sessions under the updated 2026 technical regulations. These stages are crucial as the team gears up for its first race of the season.
