The Audi Revolut F1 Team will change its color palette at the São Paulo GP, abandoning the traditional shades of gray and red. The team, along with its official apparel partner, Adidas, presented the Sampa Soul Collection on Thursday, the 22nd. This new product line is inspired by the rich culture and architecture of the city of São Paulo.
The race, scheduled to take place between November 6th and 8th at the Interlagos circuit, will mark Gabriel Bortoleto's debut for Audi. The Brazilian driver joined Formula 1 this year after acquiring Sauber and achieved victories in both the sprint and main races with the former team in 2025.
A central element of the collection is an abstract print applied to the drivers' shirts and other items. This design alludes to the Paulista pavement, representing the black and white pattern of the capital's sidewalks. This stylized state design was conceived in 1966 by artist Mirthes Bernardes.
The color selection prioritizes forest green, complemented by metallic gold details present in the three Adidas stripes, the four Audi rings, and the logos. The brands explain that these tones symbolize the city where Bortoleto grew up and the support of the Brazilian fans.
Additionally, the official drivers' shirt incorporates two subtle stripes in blue and yellow on the cuffs and collar, as a tribute to the national flag. The polo shirt is made of knitwear, featuring geometric details on the collar and a raised finish that evokes embroidery and crochet techniques.
Gabriel Bortoleto commented on the design, stating that 'the sidewalk design is part of the city, so seeing it on our shirt makes everything very personal, like carrying a piece of home with me.' Bortoleto and his teammate, Nico Hulkenberg, participate in the campaign alongside Brazilian actor André Lamoglia, from the Netflix series Elite, in a setting of a São Paulo cafe with a 1970s aesthetic.
The Sampa Soul Collection, which includes jackets, shorts, t-shirts, caps, footwear, and various accessories, will be available for purchase starting this Friday, the 23rd, through the Adidas website, the team's online store, and selected global points of sale.
