Audi reveals first-ever Formula 1 car livery ahead of debut 2026 season!

Audi is the fourth team to reveal its 2026 livery after Red Bull, Racing Bulls, and Haas F1. The car will be named R26.

The German brand joins the Formula 1 grid as a factory team for the 2026 season, taking over from Sauber. They will also use their own power unit from the 2026 season onward.

Audi is led by team principal Jonathan Wheatley and CTO and COO Mattia Binotto.

The line-up also remains unchanged from the previous season, when Sauber finished ninth in the constructors' championship: podium-sitter Nico Hulkenberg and young talent Gabriel Bortoleto will drive for Audi.
