Audi Revolut F1 Team was left to rue bad luck as a freak incident robbed it of a potentially strong result at the Grand Prix de Barcelona-Catalunya. Nico Hulkenberg, starting within the top ten for the first time this season, was well into the fight for a points position when gravel, kicked up by Liam Lawson’s car, hit the emergency fire switch on his R26 – triggering an immediate shutdown of the car. It was an unfortunate and unpredictable end to his race, which gave no reward to a strong performance across the weekend.

Audi Revolut F1 Team claimed a spot in the top ten on the grid for the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix, as Nico Hulkenberg equalled the team’s best qualifying result of the year with ninth place. The team delivered performance on both sides of the garage, with Gabriel Bortoleto narrowly missing out on Q3 and setting the 12th fastest time of the session, as both R26 fought at the front of the midfield in a close battle on Saturday afternoon.

Audi Revolut F1 Team completed a successful first day of running at the Grand Prix of Barcelona-Catalunya, with cars running and finishing in the top ten in both of the day’s sessions.

Paul Aron is set to make two Free Practice appearances with Audi Revolut F1 Team this season, starting with this weekend’s Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix, followed by a further outing at the Austrian Grand Prix in Spielberg at the end of the month.

Audi Revolut F1 Team heads to Barcelona looking to build on the encouraging pace shown in Monaco. Following a busy weekend in the Principality, the championship moves to the Barcelona-Catalunya Grand Prix, a traditional circuit that is often held as the archetypal permanent track, owing to its wide range of corners and technical requirements.

Audi Revolut F1 Team suffered heartbreak at the Monaco Grand Prix, as a good display of pace by Nico Hulkenberg and Gabriel Bortoleto went unrewarded. Following a race of attrition on the streets of Monte-Carlo, with Safety Cars, a red flag and a late-race restart, the team believed to have scored points, owing to Nico’s ninth place at the flag – only for a penalty to demote the German to 14th place. Team-mate, Gabriel Bortoleto, had an eventful afternoon as his car failed to launch during the pre-race procedures: a quick intervention by the crew allowed him to rejoin with a pit-lane start, and he fought his way patiently to climb to P12 at the flag. Despite the good pace shown both earlier in the weekend and during the race, the team leaves the Principality with no points to show for its efforts. The performance displayed on the circuit, however, gives confidence for a competitive showing in the next events, starting next week in Barcelona.

Audi Revolut F1 Team was unable to turn its solid pace into a good result in qualifying for the Monaco Grand Prix, with Nico Hulkenberg setting the 13th fastest time, ahead of Gabriel Bortoleto in 16th. It was a day of missed opportunities for the team, which had consistently occupied the top ten in every practice session throughout the weekend. Unfortunately, Gabriel clipped the wall during his final attempt in Q1, resulting in terminal damage to his R26, while Nico – who had progressed through Q2 with a strong P6 – was hampered by some damage while fighting for a place in the top ten and, unable to replicate his earlier pace, bowed out in the middle part of the session. On a track on which overtaking is notoriously difficult, this result is a setback that will complicate work for tomorrow’s race. Nevertheless, the team will set out to maximise any opportunity that may arise as it targets a climb back into the points-paying positions.

Audi Revolut F1 Team completed a productive opening day of running at the Monaco Grand Prix, with Nico Hulkenberg and Gabriel Bortoleto both finishing inside the top ten in FP1 and FP2. Across the two sessions, the team focused on setup work and long-run evaluation around the streets of Monte Carlo, setting the foundations for the remainder of the weekend. Despite the unique demands of the Monaco circuit, both drivers reported positive feedback on the car balance as the day progressed, while the team continued to strengthen its operational execution and understanding of the package. Encouraged by today’s running, the focus now shifts to overnight analysis ahead of the crucial qualifying day.

Audi Revolut F1 Team heads to the iconic streets of Monaco as Formula One kicks off the European leg of the calendar. Following two Sprint Races on the trot, the team prepares for a regular weekend as it arrives in the Principality looking forward to another battle within the highly competitive midfield. Precision and confidence will be key across the weekend, around one of the most demanding yet scenic circuits on the calendar.

Audi Revolut F1 Team completed a solid weekend at the Canadian Grand Prix, with Nico Hulkenberg and Gabriel Bortoleto finishing in 12th and 13th positions respectively. Having opted to start the race on intermediate tyres, owing to the damp track, both drivers pitted early and had to climb their way back into contention for the points: the pursuit was ultimately unsuccessful, but there remain positives to take from the weekend, such as a relatively trouble-free event from a reliability point-of-view. With five races now under the belt, the team prepare to head to Europe, with the Monaco Grand Prix, taking place on the first weekend of June, an opportunity to maximise to return to the points. Earlier in the day, F1 Academy driver, Emma Felbermayr, charged from fourth on the grid to secure a well-earned second place. Showing strong pace throughout the race, she executed a series of confident overtakes, managing the challenging weather conditions on the way to the podium. The results cements her second place in the standings after two rounds.
