Audi’s Quiet Triumph in Austria | F1 News

Audi’s Formula One team may not have scored points in Austria, finishing eleventh and twelfth, but Racing Director Allan McNish declares it their best weekend yet. Despite a power unit lagging by a full second per lap, they held strong on a horsepower-heavy track, narrowly edged out by Racing Bulls. New aero upgrades delivered smooth, glitch-free performance, boosting confidence for circuits where raw speed isn’t king. McNish credits the drivers—Gabriel Bortoleto and Nico Hulkenberg—for maximizing every ounce of potential. Back at Neuberg, engineers are refining the first power unit, improving reliability and race starts, laying groundwork for future gains. Momentum is building—even if the scoreboard doesn’t reflect it.
