Audi has officially revealed the Audi Revolut F1 Team name and confirmed a Berlin launch on January 20, 2026, marking a key step toward its Formula One debut.

Audi has taken another formal and symbolic step on its road to Formula One. The manufacturer has officially confirmed the name Audi Revolut F1 Team, unveiled its logo, and announced that the team’s global launch will take place in Berlin on January 20, 2026.

The name reflects Audi’s title partnership with fintech company Revolut, which was confirmed in July 2025. The collaboration goes beyond traditional sponsorship, positioning Revolut as a strategic partner integrated into both the team’s identity and its operations. Audi has confirmed the use of Revolut Business within its financial processes, as well as Revolut Pay for the team’s online store.

The Berlin event will mark the first time the Audi Revolut F1 Team presents its full identity to the world. While the launch on January 20 will be held as a closed event, the following day will be open to the public. A central highlight will be the unveiling of the car’s full 2026 race livery, following the earlier presentation of the Audi R26 Concept in November.

Alongside the visual reveal, Audi continues to reshape the organisational structure behind its Formula One entry. Sauber Motorsport AG, which forms the foundation of the project, will be renamed Audi Motorsport AG. At the same time, the names Sauber Holding AG and Sauber Technologies AG will be retained, signalling continuity with the team’s heritage. The Technology Centre in Bicester, UK, will also be rebranded under the Audi Motorsport name.

Team management describes the confirmation of the name and logo as a milestone that gives the project a clear public identity. With the countdown to the 2026 season underway, the Berlin launch represents the moment when Audi’s Formula One ambitions begin to move decisively from preparation into the spotlight.
