How Audi's 2026 season has played out so far

Audi’s debut season as a works F1 team has been a mix of early challenges and recent progress. After a difficult start to the 2026 campaign, the team currently sits eighth in the Constructors' Championship with 12 points, largely thanks to strong performances from Gabriel Bortoleto, who has outscored teammate Nico Hulkenberg. Despite reliability issues and the departure of Team Principal Jonathan Wheatley, the team has shown an upward trajectory with points in three consecutive races before the summer break. Team leadership remains positive, viewing 2026 and 2027 as foundational years as they work towards their long-term goal of challenging for the world championship by 2030.
