Audi unveils São Paulo-inspired livery for Interlagos

Audi will run a special one-off livery on its R26 at Interlagos this weekend, inspired by São Paulo. Created by title partner Revolut, the design combines deep racing green and golden accents with a geometric pattern based on the Piso Paulista, the black-and-white pavement found across the city.

The pattern will also appear on the race suits of Gabriel Bortoleto and Nico Hülkenberg, on pit crew clothing and in the team's garage area. The initiative forms part of a wider collaboration between Audi and its partners, which has already included a São Paulo-themed Revolut bank card and an Adidas Sampa Soul collection. Audi chief brand and commercial officer Stefano Battiston said the city has an unmistakable identity that the team wanted to reflect across everything it brings to the race.

For Bortoleto, racing on home soil for the first time this season, the design offers a visual link to his roots in front of his home crowd.
