With Formula 1\u2019s 2026 regulation reset coming into effect ahead of this year\u2019s championship, Castrol has been collaborating with the Audi Revolut F1\u00ae Team to develop bespoke lubricants and EV fluids. In addition, bp is developing a bespoke, high-performance fuel that will power Audi Revolut F1\u00ae Team\u2019s new hybrid engine and meet Formula 1\u00ae 2026 regulations. Both bp and Castrol are official partners to the team.<\/p>\n
Experts from Castrol and the Audi Revolut F1\u00ae Team have specially co-engineered a bespoke Castrol EDGE engine oil for the Audi power unit (AFR 26 Hybrid). The finely tuned engine oil assists Audi in striking the perfect balance between performance and reliability. Under tighter energy limits, the oil plays into the team\u2019s energy strategy \u2013 helping reduce frictional losses so more usable power can be extracted from the same fuel. At the same time, it helps the car finish the race, protecting hardware through endurance and wear control under extreme loads. Castrol and Audi engineers work in a continuous, data-driven development loop to engineer Castrol EDGE for ultimate performance* on track. This makes Castrol\u2019s contribution to the Audi Revolut F1\u00ae Team a potential game-changer for its first season.<\/p>\n
Chris Lockett, Senior Vice President, Castrol Technology, said:<\/strong> \u201cThis season\u2019s engineering changes are huge, and completely reset the technology challenge. With electrification providing around half the power in the car, and much tighter energy supply constraints, engine oil is now an active performance component in an F1 car, a not-so-secret ingredient that could make a real difference to where teams finish this season. This is what our technical partnership with the Audi Revolut F1\u00ae Team is all about \u2013 enhancing efficiency and reliability of critical systems to deliver the best possible performance on the track.\u201d<\/p>\n Mattia Binotto, Head of the Audi Revolut F1\u00ae Team, said:<\/strong> \u201cOur technical partnership with Castrol goes much deeper than a conventional partnership. We have been working hand in hand since 2022, testing, analysing and refining together to develop bespoke fluids that perform in the toughest racing environments. But it goes beyond simply developing products: we will have a Castrol engineer with us at every race as part of our team, helping us prepare for races and debriefing on performance, playing an integral role in our F1 season.\u201d<\/p>\n
