F1 Team Officially Unveil New Name And Logo Week After Season Ends

A Formula 1 team has confirmed their official name and logo change ahead of the 2026 season.

The F1 grid will increase in size from 10 to 11 teams next season, with Cadillac joining the sport.

Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez will drive for the American team, with former IndyCar star Colton Herta signed as one of their reserve drivers.

Elsewhere, Williams will rebrand to Williams F1 Team from next season with a new logo, having been known as Williams Racing or Williams Grand Prix previously.

And the Sauber team will rebrand into Audi, with the German car manufacturer having completed a full takeover of the team at the beginning of 2025.

Audi have taken major steps in order to hit the ground running in Formula 1, with former Red Bull sporting director Jonathan Wheatley and former Ferrari chief Mattia Binotto both already in post as team principal and chief technical officer respectively.

The pair led the team to achieve significantly improved results in 2025, having picked up just four points - all by the same driver, Zhou Guanyu, in one race - across the entirety of 2024.

This year, they finished ninth in the Constructors' Championship but scored 70 points, with Nico Hulkenberg achieving his first career podium by finishing third at the British Grand Prix.

F2 champion Gabriel Bortoleto also showed plenty of promise in his debut F1 season with a highest placing of sixth in Hungary, with Audi sticking with the same driver pairing for 2026.

In a new video posted on social media, it has been confirmed that Audi will be officially known as 'Audi Revolut F1 Team' in 2026.

Revolut are a global financial technology company founded in 2015, with its headquarters based in London.

They will feature prominently on the team's official logo, along with Audi's iconic four rings.

As per The Athletic's Luke Smith, the team's official livery will be unveiled at a launch event in Berlin, Germany on January 20.

Although the video isn't completely clear, the colours of silver, red and black - which are commonly associated with Audi - appear on the concept car that is showcased.

Audi have never previously been involved in F1 as a factory team, having diverted its attentions largely towards endurance racing.

They were initially due to enter the sport solely as an engine manufacturer from 2026, but those plans changed after they decided to pursue a minority stake acquisition and then a full takeover of Sauber.
