Sydney, Australia, 30 July 2025 – The future Audi F1 Team and Revolut, the global fintech leader with over 60 million customers, are joining forces in a landmark agreement that will see Revolut become the title partner of the team from the 2026 FIA Formula One Championship season onward.
The partnership unites two premium brands with a shared ambition to challenge convention and drive consistent innovation – both in motorsport and in global finance. The common 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.
As part of the agreement, Revolut Business will be extensively integrated into the team's financial operations. Fans will also benefit directly with Revolut powering seamless checkout solutions for team merchandise, ensuring a premium and intuitive retail experience.
Nik Storonsky, CEO, Revolut: “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.”
Jonathan Wheatley, Team Principal of the future Audi F1 Team: “With Revolut, we have found a true 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.”
Gernot Döllner, CEO of AUDI AG and Chairman of the Board of Sauber Motorsport AG: “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. 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.”
The partnership marks a landmark move from Revolut as it rapidly scales towards 100 million customers globally.

About Audi F1:
Audi will enter Formula 1 for the first time in 2026 with its own factory team and a hybrid drive system (“power unit”) developed in Germany. The future team is based at two locations: Audi Formula Racing GmbH, which was founded specifically for the project, is developing the power unit in Neuberg an der Donau. Hinwil in Switzerland will be home to the development of the racing car as well as the planning and operation of the races. In addition, the UK Technology Center in Bicester provides a foothold in the heart of ‘Motorsport Valley,’ offering direct access to top F1 talent and key strategic partners.
Formula 1 is regarded as the pinnacle of motorsport and, with its global reach, is one of the most important sports platforms in the world. Another decisive factor for the entry of Audi is the new FIA regulations, which from 2026, will include sustainable fuels and increase the electric share of the hybrid drive unit to almost 50 percent.
