One of the two new names on the F1 grid will unveil its 2026 car today (Tuesday January 20) as Audi holds its season launch event in Berlin.

The Audi Revolut F1 team has taken over the Sauber team for 2026, and is now set to begin its first season as both a power unit manufacturer and works outfit.

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

The outfit is now set to become the fourth team to unveil a 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.
