The car will feature a unique livery that showcases Audi’s signature colors, including titanium, carbon black, and “Audi Red.” The team’s leadership, including Mattia Binotto and Team Principal Jonathan Wheatley, is confident that the Audi Revolut F1 Team will be a competitive force on the grid.
The launch event in Berlin will be an immersive brand experience, providing fans with a first look at the final race-ready livery and the integrated Revolut branding.
