Audi's Formula 1 factory team competing from 2026 with hybrid power units and chassis development
Audi Revolut F1 Team is Audi's factory entry into Formula 1 starting in 2026, operating across three locations: Hinwil (Switzerland) for chassis and race ops, Neuburg (Germany) for power-unit engineering, and Bicester (UK) for motorsport technology. The tech stack is heavily simulation and manufacturing-focused (OpenFOAM, MATLAB, C++, Python), with active projects spanning driver-in-loop simulators, HV battery welding processes, and additive manufacturing—a hiring velocity that's accelerating across engineering, manufacturing, and commercial teams reflects pre-season ramp.
Audi Revolut F1 Team is the manufacturer's factory racing operation entering the FIA Formula 1 World Championship in 2026. The team leverages Audi's motorsport heritage and Sauber Group's Hinwil facility—a recognized center for F1 innovation—alongside Audi's modern Competence Center in Neuburg and a newly established technology hub in Bicester. The competitive structure aligns with F1's 2026 regulation shift toward sustainable synthetic fuels and 50% electric drivetrain power. Operations span power-unit development, chassis engineering, race strategy, and manufacturing at scale across Europe.
Primary stack: OpenFOAM, C++, Python, MATLAB, Linux, and SAP. Also deployed: Windows, Microsoft 365, Active Directory, and Apple endpoints. Reflects simulation-heavy engineering (CFD, driver-in-loop modeling) and enterprise systems.
Three primary locations: Hinwil, Switzerland (chassis and race operations); Neuburg an der Donau, Germany (power-unit engineering and Motorsport Competence Center); Bicester, UK (Sauber Motorsport Technology Center, opened recently).
