One of the two new names on the F1 grid are set to unveil their 2026 car on Tuesday January 20, as Audi line up a season launch event in Berlin.

The Audi Revolut F1 team have taken over the Sauber team for 2026, and are set to begin their first season as both a power unit manufacturer and works outfit.

They have kept a lot of the Sauber 2025 team the same, including team principal Jonathan Wheatley and drivers Gabriel Bortoleto and Nico Hulkenberg.

The outfit are now set to become the fourth team to unveil their 2026 car design - after Red Bull, Racing Bulls and Haas - with a special season launch event in Berlin.

Following that event, a select group of fans and media personnel will get a closer look at the 2026 car design and livery in another event in Berlin on Wednesday January 21.

When is Audi's F1 car launch?

The show in Berlin kicks off on Tuesday January 20 at 7pm local time (6pm GMT), and fans can expect to see the full 2026 car design.

Audi were the first team to take their 2026 car out on track during a promotional filming day at the start of January at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, but limited images were provided of that filming session.
