Audi revealed this Friday the worst kept secret of recent times, its entry into Formula 1 . However, he did so by announcing only that they will reach the highest category as motorcyclists, under the future new regulations for power units.
Although it is assumed that they will join Sauber , who now operate Alfa Romeo, there is no mention of the Swiss company either in the statement or in the car they presented, and they assure that until “the end of the year” they will not decide who they will join. unite.
For this reason, and given that it is not a 100% finished project, it cannot be considered that the single-seater that they have shown to the world will have the final appearance that we will see in 2026, although it can give clues as to what will be on the grid. And it is that if Sauber has allowed Alfa Romeo to take center stage in the car these years, with its logos and colors, Audi will do the same on its arrival in F1.
In addition, it has the tones with which the German firm competes in other categories, so we can be facing something very similar to the future Audi F1 .

If it materializes, the black color would return to the queen category car grid, something we had lost after Mercedes regained its historic silver (they competed in 2020 and 2021 with a black car against racism) and after the stormy association of Haas and Rich Energy that painted the car of the American team in that color in 2019.
Be that as it may, what is already certain and official is that we will finally see the mythical four identifying rings of Audi in the generation of cars that will arrive with the new engine rules from 2026.
And if the partnership with Sauber is confirmed, Audi will be the fourth identity of the team that Peter Sauber founded in 1993, and that after competing under that name, then joining BMW and becoming Sauber again, has been Alfa Romeo since 2019.
