The Audi Revolut F1 Team has shown its first ever Formula 1 car for the 2026 season. The car was revealed at a big launch event in Berlin, Germany on 20 January 2026. This is the first time Audi has ever shown a real F1 car, and it is a very important moment for the team and the sport. 

Audi is new to Formula 1. The company bought the Sauber team and changed its name to Audi Revolut F1 Team. The new name comes from a partnership with Revolut, the digital bank.

The new car is called the R26 and it has a special design and colours. Fans and media were excited to see how the car looks without its covers for the first time. The design shows Audi’s style and technology for racing. 

The car reveal was part of a bigger event. The team also showed their official colours and logo. Many people at the event saw the car up close and took photos. 

Last week before the launch, the Audi team already ran the new car on a track for the first time in testing. This was an important step for the team before real races begin. 

Next week, the R26 will take part in a private test in Barcelona. After that, the car will be seen by the public for the first time during official pre-season testing in Bahrain in mid-February.

Formula 1 fans around the world are now looking forward to the 2026 season, when Audi will compete for the first time. Many people think it will be exciting to see a new team in the sport.
