Audi F1 teaser reveal tonight 12th Nov 8pm

[Big Nanas]

Haven't seen this widely reported, but Audi have some sort of reveal 'teaser' at 8pm GMT tonight.

Possibly a glimpse at their livery perhaps? Seems far too soon to be showing any hint of what the actual car will look like.

There's going to be some press there so hopefully it'll be something of note at least

[the-norseman]

Probably just a better website.

It's a brief video, but worth watching. Seems like an early hint at what the cars may look like. Interesting.

It's quite a striking design, soon to be ruined by sponsor logos no doubt!

OMG, shock announcement! New Audi F1 car will be in traditional Audi motorsport colours! Nobody could have foreseen that!

The design split by a straight line into two halves across the car is quite neat imo. I like the titanium front.

I'm not really 'into' livery design, but at least this one is fairly unique and will stand out.

Anything will be better than the current dreadful Sauber livery

Well, Revolut will be one of their main sponsors for next year. Their colour scheme is a mix of purples blues and grey.

The sticky out air scoops look vulnerable.

I think that's a feature forced by the new design regs

Several mockups have the same sort of arrangement:

is the curved front wing reminiscent of 2006ish.

Although the huge bits painted black to make it look less massive are a bit of a shame, and as said, those air scoops sticking out the sides are asking to get smacked off.

Good find, Deuce. The front wing endplates look less vulnerable, don't they.

Yep, the front wing is smaller and simpler in general, so should be more robust.

Also the entire car is meaningfully smaller so should 'fit' side by side more of the time, leading to the front wings being less likely to get clipped in the first place.

It's just a shame these apparently sane changes are appearing on cars that are also going to be subject to the new and frankly bizarre PU regs!

Re the front wings, they will be active aero, so Im not sure they will be more robust. Certainly looks less vulnerable.

The moving wing surfaces are well inboard of the end of the wing endplates - although they're not really endplates anymore, more solid and boxy looking - I guess they have to support the part of the wing that does open/close so need to be bulkier than the current end plates.

Pre season testing is going to be fascinating for once - the bit of it we're allowed to watch, at least.

It's going to change and it's going to get sponsors over it, but that silver/red/black looks good.

Looks weird to me {edit: I thought cut n shuts were illegal}. If the contrast had been faded in it would have been great...

The "car" have posted is almost the same as the default FIA 2026 render. There is no way any F1 team will post anything that even remotely looks like next years car until they are on track next year.

Any pictures (even at the livery launches) would give clues to other teams of their design direction.

We know, it's a livery concept reveal...
