Audi livery reveal
Audi unveiled a Brazil-focused look for its R26 cars at the Grand Prix, introducing a special one-off design that replaced the team’s gray scheme. The company called it the Audi R26 design, and it was Audi’s third unique livery of the 2026 Formula 1 season. Title partner Revolut created the livery. Audi said the design was intended to reflect São Paulo’s identity across the entire race weekend.
R26 design details
The livery used deep racing green and golden accents. A geometric pattern ran through the design, and Audi said the motif drew inspiration from São Paulo’s Piso Paulista pavement design. The design was also set to appear on Gabriel Bortoleto and Nico Hülkenberg’s race suits, on the pit crew’s apparel and in the garage area.
Bortoleto home race
The reveal also carried a personal edge for Gabriel Bortoleto. Audi said the design was especially meaningful for him because he was racing on home soil for the first time this season. Audi also said the project was part of a broader creative collaboration with its partners, citing Revolut’s São Paulo-themed bank card and Adidas’ Sampa Soul collection as prior examples.
