The Audi Revolut F1 Team heads to one of Formula 1’s most iconic venues, Suzuka Circuit, for the third round of the season, looking to build on early promise and convert potential into results. They do so without the services of recently departed Team Principal, Jonathan Wheatley. After showing encouraging pace in the opening races, the focus now shifts to execution as the midfield battle tightens.

With a short break following the previous round in Shanghai, the team has been hard at work behind the scenes, continuing to better understand the new generation of Formula 1 machinery. That preparation will be put to the test at Suzuka, a circuit known for its technical demands and unforgiving nature. Precision is everything here, and even small mistakes can prove costly over the course of a race weekend.

Head of the Audi F1 project, Mattia Binotto, emphasized the importance of consistency and reliability heading into the weekend. While the team has demonstrated solid pace so far, there have also been areas for improvement. Addressing earlier reliability concerns has been a key priority, with the goal of ensuring both cars can complete race distance without issues. For Audi, the mission remains clear: keep learning, keep improving, and capitalize on every opportunity.

Driver Nico Hülkenberg knows just how challenging Suzuka can be. The German described the track as both demanding and rewarding, noting that the first two races offered a mix of positives and missed chances. His goal for the weekend is simple, put together a clean, mistake-free performance and extract the maximum from the car.

Meanwhile, Gabriel Bortoleto is eager to return to one of his favorite circuits. After missing the previous round, he’s motivated to make the most of his opportunity in Japan. With a solid foundation already in place from earlier races, Bortoleto believes the team is well-positioned to take another step forward.

As the season begins to take shape, Suzuka could prove to be a pivotal moment for Audi. In a midfield fight where margins are razor-thin, execution, not just speed, may ultimately define success.
