Overview
- Audi will field its R26 at the Monaco Grand Prix with parts of the usual fluorescent red replaced by bright yellow as a one‑off tribute.
- The change covers the rear sections of the sidepods and the four‑ring Audi logo on the rear wing and extends to drivers’ race suits, matching the revised car look.
- Audi frames the design as a nod to Tazio Nuvolari, who won early Monaco races and later competed for Auto Union in the 1930s.
- Coverage notes the full historical context, including that Auto Union’s 1930s programme received state funding in Nazi Germany and ceased with the outbreak of World War II.
- The livery follows a wider trend of heritage designs at Monaco and is likely to draw attention both for its visual homage and for the historical sensitivities it evokes.
