Azerbaijan Grand Prix Preview - Audi

NEWS STORY
21/09/2026

Audi Revolut F1 Team is ready to tackle the streets of Baku, as the championship heads overseas for the final part of the season. The Azerbaijan Grand Prix marks the start of an Asian triple-header that will test the team's mental and physical resilience, with Malaysia and Singapore following over the next two weekends.

After adding another point to its tally in Madrid, the fifth occasion in the last six races in which the team finished in the top ten, Audi Revolut F1 Team will be aiming to continue its progress in the streets of Baku.

Allan McNish, Racing Director: "Madrid was another encouraging weekend for us, and I was pleased with how the team operated. We maximised our potential, and another point was a good reward for that effort: now we need to keep moving in that direction. Baku is the first of three races in a row, so it will be a busy few weeks for everyone - not least because they are three heavily physical races for both drivers and crews. Our focus will be on doing our job well, continuing to improve and putting ourselves in the best possible position to be in the fight for more points."

Nico Hulkenberg: "We've been consistently fighting around the points over the last few weekends, and that's where we want to stay. Baku is one of those circuits where things can change quickly, so if we put everything together and have a clean weekend, there should be opportunities. What we can expect is for the battle around our positions to be quite close, as in the previous rounds, so we will need to execute well."

Gabriel Bortoleto: "Madrid wasn't the easiest weekend for me, but we were close to Q3 once again and our pace was quite good, so I'm keen to pick up where we left off. We have been fighting very close to the points recently, and we know our car has the potential to get into the top ten, so the aim is to keep pushing in that direction. We usually see some really interesting racing in Baku, and I'm ready to get back in the car and see what we can do."
