Audi names Öhlins official F1 damper supplier
Audi Revolut F1 Team has formalised Öhlins as its official damper supplier for the 2026 season. The agreement builds directly on a prior joint development and testing programme that supported the team's pre-season work.
Partnership details
Audi Revolut F1 Team announced on 15 October 2026 that Öhlins will serve as its official damper supplier for the 2026 Formula 1 season.[1][2][3] The Swedish company supplies dampers that control suspension movement in response to track bumps, braking and direction changes. These components influence tire consistency and chassis behavior during setup adjustments.[1]
The deal formalises a relationship that includes a joint development programme on engineering, testing and damper performance. This work occurred ahead of the team's March 2026 debut.[2][3] Öhlins has supplied dampers to Audi in prior motorsport programmes, including multiple Le Mans 24 Hours entries from 1999 to 2016 and DTM campaigns in the 2000s.[4]
