The future Audi F1 Team have announced global financial technology company Revolut as their title partner from the 2026 season onwards.
German automotive giants Audi, who have tasted success in various motorsport categories, will debut in F1 next year after recently completing a takeover of the Kick Sauber entry.
As preparations continue for that arrival, which includes the opening of a UK Technical Centre, Audi are teaming up with Revolut in a flagship, strategic partnership.
According to Audi’s press release, the shared goal of the partnership is to establish “new ways for fans to interact with the sport during race weekends, with unique experiences for a new generation of motorsport enthusiasts and exclusive benefits for Revolut customers”.
Revolut Business will also be integrated into the team’s financial operations, with fans benefitting from Revolut powering “seamless checkout solutions” for team merchandise.
“Audi is entering Formula 1 with a clear ambition: to use the platform as a technologically relevant and economically sustainable investment in the future of the Audi brand,” said Gernot Döllner, CEO of AUDI AG and Chairman of the Board of Sauber Motorsport AG.
“We firmly believe in the success of our project, which we are approaching with a realistic attitude and a mindset of continuous improvement. In Revolut, we have found a partner that shares our ambitions and attitude.
“Formula 1 is a global stage that offers us the opportunity to reach new target groups together and generate enthusiasm for our products.”
Jonathan Wheatley, Team Principal of the future Audi F1 Team, added: “With Revolut, we have found a partner that shares our core ethos of innovation and relentless ambition. This is more than a brand fit; it is a strategic alliance, engineered to challenge conventions in motorsport.
“From 2026, Revolut’s digital-first solutions will power key areas of our operations while also redefining how fans and communities engage with our team – delivering a seamless and engaging experience on and off the track.”
Nik Storonsky, CEO of Revolut, added: “This is a monumental partnership for Revolut and the Future Audi F1 Team. We’re accelerating towards 100 million customers, and we’ll be bringing them into Formula 1 with unforgettable experiences at a pivotal time for the sport.
“As Revolut continues to challenge the status quo in global finance, the Future Audi F1 Team is set to do the same in motorsport. With a shared outlook, global ambition and relentless drive for progress, this partnership will define what’s possible in Formula 1.”
