The Audi R26 is a Formula One car designed and built by Audi to compete in the 2026 Formula One World Championship. It is the first Formula One car built by Audi after its takeover of Sauber, and the first car built at the Hinwil site to use non-Ferrari engines since the BMW-powered BMW Sauber F1.09 in the 2009 season. It is also the first Hinwil-built car to use Castrol-branded lubricant since the Ford Cosworth-powered Sauber C14 in 1995. Significant changes to the technical regulations were introduced for 2026, affecting both the chassis and the engine. Audi completed the first fire-up of the car on 19 December 2025 at the team's Hinwil site in Switzerland, the first shakedown took place on 9 January 2026 at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, and the car was officially launched on 20 January 2026 at the Kraftwerk in Berlin. It is driven by Nico Hülkenberg and Gabriel Bortoleto, both in their second season with the Hinwil-based team.
