Audi take covers off striking Sao Paulo Grand Prix special livery

Audi has revealed a special livery for the São Paulo Grand Prix, designed by title partner Revolut to mark Gabriel Bortoleto's home race at Interlagos.

The design extends well beyond the car itself. Special race suits, pit crew suits and garage branding have all been produced to carry the same city-inspired theme across the team's entire race-weekend presence.

The launch builds on a wider campaign between Audi and its partners, following the earlier release of the Revolut 'São Paulo' Card and the adidas Sampa Soul collection. The livery reveal is being billed as the next step in a shared creative direction running across the team.

Central to the look is the Piso Paulista pattern, a geometric design taken from São Paulo's distinctive pavement. That same pattern links the livery to the race suits, the pit crew suits and the garage branding, tying together the cars, the drivers and the full team environment for the weekend.

Both Bortoleto and team-mate Nico Hülkenberg will wear race suits featuring the pattern at Interlagos. For Bortoleto, the Brazilian driver, the weekend carries extra weight as he races in front of his home fans for the first time this season.

Audi's chief brand and commercial officer, Stefano Battiston, explained the thinking behind the project.

"São Paulo has an unmistakable identity, and we wanted that to run through everything we bring to this race," Battiston said.

"Revolut's Audi R26 special livery takes the story onto the track, building on the Revolut card and the adidas Sampa Soul collection, with the race suits and garage branding completing that shared creative language.

"It shows what we can create when we bring our partners together: each contributes its own expertise, while the result feels connected. For Gabi's home race, that makes this a particularly meaningful expression of who we are as a team and how we connect with fans."
