Audi Revolut F1® Team
Audi acquired the Sauber Group in Switzerland to enter Formula 1®. The Swiss team has been competing in the FIA Formula 1® World Championship since 1992 and brings a wealth of experience from more than 30 years in the pinnacle of motorsport to today’s Audi Revolut F1® Team. The Audi Formula 1® cars are developed at the F1® factory in Hinwil, around 30 kilometers from Zurich, with race operations being handled from there, too. The team works closely with Audi Formula Racing (AFR) in Neuburg an der Donau, where the powertrain is developed. A technology center in Bicester, England, gives Audi Revolut F1® Team access to the world’s largest pool of motorsport expertise and talent.

The drivers
The drivers have always been the stars of Formula 1®. With experienced German Nico Hulkenberg and Brazilian young talent Gabriel Bortoleto, Audi Revolut F1® Team is banking on a combination of experience and youth.
Nico Hulkenberg
With more than 250 Grand Prix races under his belt, Nico Hulkenberg is one of the most experienced drivers in Formula 1®. With third place in the British Grand Prix at Silverstone in July 2025, Hulkenberg achieved his long-awaited first podium finish in Formula 1®. He has also demonstrated his talent in other racing series: In 2015, Hulkenberg won the Le Mans 24 Hours – another milestone in an impressive career in which Hulkenberg won every junior series he competed in on his way to the top of motorsport. “Audi’s entry into the pinnacle of motorsport is a real statement. For me, as a German, representing such a major brand with a unique motorsport history is also something very special,” he says.
Gabriel Bortoleto
Brazilian driver Gabriel Bortoleto competed in his first full season of the Formula 1® World Championship in 2025 and made an immediate impression – which was no great surprise given his track record: Bortoleto won both the FIA Formula 3 and FIA Formula 2 championships in consecutive years in his first season in each series – a feat that only three other drivers have achieved before him. Even as a child, Bortoleto dreamed of becoming a Formula 1® driver. “Being part of Audi feels like a dream come true for me,” he says. “My big idol is Ayrton Senna. And it was Ayrton Senna who brought Audi to Brazil. When the Audi F1® Project started and I was given the chance to be part of it, it was like a gift for me.”
Audi Revolut F1® Team in the F1® Academy
Founded in 2023, the F1® Academy aims to support female drivers and pave their way to advance to higher levels of motorsport – ideally all the way to Formula 1®. The races are contested in Formula 4 cars and take place alongside selected Formula 1® Grand Prix events. The F1® Academy is supported by the F1® teams.
Audi Driver Development Programme
The involvement in the F1® Academy is part of the Audi Driver Development Programme, which is led by team’s Racing Director, former Audi sports car driver and Le Mans winner Allan McNish. Promoting women is a key priority for the team and continues the legacy of female drivers who have succeeded with the four rings.
Emma Felbermayr
In 2026, young Austrian driver Emma Felbermayr competes in the F1® Academy in the colors of Audi Revolut F1® Team. She is part of the Audi Driver Development Programme and closely involved in the Audi F1® Project. Her car is operated by Rodin Motorsport.

The race calendar
A program of 24 Grands Prix on five continents ensures global media coverage of the sport and a high degree of continuity throughout the calendar year. The Formula 1® season consists of races on permanent racetracks alternating with races on street circuits such as Monte Carlo, Las Vegas, and – new this year – Madrid. Each race weekend features three days of action on the track. Traditionally, there are two free practice sessions on Friday, another free practice session and qualifying on Saturday, and the Grand Prix with a standing start on Sunday. On so-called ‘Sprint’ weekends, there is an additional shorter race on Saturday with its own qualifying session on Friday.
