My Audi F1 Adidas upper wear starter kit + personal Puma boots. As an Audi F1 fan, which boot brand do you personally usually wear especially while you watching F1 races in grandstands tracks?

For me shirt and hat both made by Adidas but personally I mix-up wear Puma shoes due to my personal relationship with Puma brand. How about yours? Adidas or Nike or Puma or Under Armour or Mizuno or Umbro or others?

I choose Puma because of reliable boots.

Peugeot × PT Indomobil Sukses International as sole authorized distributor for Indonesia market return ? Perhaps Indomobil can become Peugeot's local CKD builder and assembler in Indonesia too

Peugeot × PT Indomobil Sukses International

Salim Family photo including well-known Sudono Salim and Anthony Salim

Indomobil still doing aggressive Stellantis partnership philosophy by taking Jeep, Citroën and Leapmotor as current Stellantis brands in PT Indomobil Sukses Internasional sole distributor brand in Indonesia.

Currently Citroën, Jeep and LeapMotor are Stellantis-owned brands in PT Indomobil Sukses Internasional

As long as Salim family money still flowing, Indomobil perhaps will take Peugeot, Alfa Romeo and rest of Stellantis brands coming to Indonesia. Sudono and Anthony Salim are well-known the Salim Group owner including also famous Indofood brands Indomie, Supermi, Sarimi and Sakura.

Not only sole distributor brand, Indomobil perhaps can become Peugeot's local CKD builder and assembler in Indonesia too because of Soebronto Laras family's aggressive philosophy.

I guarantee Indonesians will interest buying Peugeot cars especially in Jakarta Metropolitan Area. Indonesia's four-wheel market also strong commonly.

I'm Indonesian but Peugeot's presence in Indonesia will improve Peugeot's French mainstream car image.

Do you agree Peugeot will re-enter Indonesian Market via PT Indomobil Sukses Internasional?

BWT will officially leaving Alpine after 2026 and I hope Audi will take BWT sponsorship but the treatment of BWT sponsorship will expecting same as Aston Martin did in 2021 with very less pink accent:

BWT was Aston Martin's small sponsor back in 2021

BWT has rich history with Volkswagen AG in the past and also BWT major sponsor for Lechner Racing in Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup since 2018

Lechner Porsche Supercup team

Don't forget also Mücke in ADAC GT in 2020:

TIL actually before public deal announcement late-January 2017, Renault already secretly contacted BP and Castrol for research and development in early-to-mid-2016

https://preview.redd.it/ia39aexlfwih1.png?width=1024&format=png&auto=webp&s=d91c280a60f74e6366825b58b5f0ba509ed34f1d

As a consequence of Renault's severe bad relationship with previous fuel, lubricant and fluids partner Total(Energies) S.A. in 2015, Renault had to research with all-new fuel, lubricant and fluids partner and eventually Renault secretly contacted BP and Castrol to research and develop the all-new bespoke fuel, lubricant and fluids to build an all-new "clean-sheet of paper" R.E.17 for 2017.

As we know, Total was very unhappy of Renault's performance because of series of bad engine failures mainly in 2015 with two-Red Bull owned teams.

And that's why Renault chose BP-Castrol in 2017 because Total treated Renault badly in 2015-2016 and there was still a mutual personal grudge.

Are you still remember the switch?

Audi's 2026 F1 debut is analogous to KTM's 2017 MotoGP debut: both factory newcomers initially had to endure a difficult learning year without a top-five finish

The Audi F1 2026 VS KTM MotoGP 2017 comparison

The struggles faced by the Audi factory team heading into the 2026 Formula 1 season mirror the difficulties experienced by the KTM factory team during the 2017 MotoGP season.

Both are newcomer manufacturers in their respective premier classes—four-wheeled and two-wheeled racing—yet neither has managed to secure a top-five race finish.

Hopefully, Audi can improve in the 2027 Formula 1 season, just as KTM did in MotoGP from 2018 onwards.

The Audi Revolut F1 Team doesn't currently have a timekeeper watchmaker partner, but there is still a chance they could secure one in the future

Go ahead and take your pick!

Personally, I’d go with Oris—their experience and the partnership itself are just so much more appealing due to past WEC and DTM partnership in 2014-2016

How about yours?

Current BP-Castrol with Audi partnership in F1 more comfortable than previous Renault/Alpine and McLaren-Honda partnerships

https://preview.redd.it/mrindj4o2vhh1.png?width=3000&format=png&auto=webp&s=6af650be43e36334fde4ea6bbf0611328ec567f9

It must be acknowledged and admit that if BP and Castrol are now more comfortable working with Audi rather than they were with Renault/Alpine and McLaren-Honda during their previous Formula 1 stints.

Furthermore, their existing automotive business partnerships with Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT, Škoda, and Cupra could actually help Audi adapt to Formula 1.

In contrast, the collaborations during the Renault/Alpine and McLaren-Honda eras were chaotic—particularly with McLaren-Honda, as the setup was built-around (tailor-made) with ExxonMobil/Mobil 1 products.

With no soft drink or other beverages such as energy drink, milk etc. sponsor, the Audi Revolut F1 team relies solely on pure mineral water as the primary beverage for its drivers

It turns out the Audi Revolut F1 team has opted for a "healthy living" approach, choosing mineral water free from sugar and artificial sweeteners

It turns out that Audi and Sauber shared a partnership with the English Premier League club Chelsea F.C. between 2012 and 2015.

It is a coincidence that Sauber and Audi would later join forces as a single team in Formula 1 starting in 2026.

ART Grand Prix as all-new Audi-affiliated F1 customer partner independent private team in the future? Agree?

Audi currently only works team available in F1 but Audi will open to future customer partnership expansion same as Ferrari, Red Bull and Mercedes. ART Grand Prix can become Audi F1 satellite team same as Toro Rosso/AlphaTauri/Racing Bulls to Red Bull since 2006.

If Audi wants customer expansion, I backing ART Grand Prix to step in as Audi F1 customer engine partner to help Freddie Slater reach F1.

In Formula 1, customer engine arrangements provide manufacturers with multi-car telemetry datasets while granting customer teams standardized power unit support, though works teams often retain deep simulation advantages. ART probably must pay lease Audi F1 engine package from Audi Revolut F1 Team

So it means ART-Audi can help Audi F1 gain the data.

ART GP is the most successful GP2/F2 and GP3/F3 team all-time.

Opinion: Mercedes engine reliability questioned, Williams should thinking engine supplier switch to customer Audi in the future

Williams F1 fans felt disappointed with current Mercedes engine reliability and Williams should looking for Audi F1 customer engine supply partnership to help Audi F1 gain the data by leasing the Audi works engine from Audi Revolut F1 Team.

If Williams switch to Audi PU customer in the future, Williams probably will switch to BP Castrol just like in 1997-2006:

https://preview.redd.it/ycmoxxpp1chh1.png?width=2048&format=png&auto=webp&s=4b657519363a2f2fb1fa39b4507e4f39222c79bc

Wlliams technical partnership with Audi makes sense and also Williams should return to build gearboxes in-house. The Williams-Audi partnership also mirroring the Gresini-Ducati in MotoGP since 2022. And also will help Freddie Slater to reach F1 with Williams.

Williams also have termination engine supply partnership clause with Mercedes if performance cannot improve anytime.

Due to BP in German market using Aral branding it means Audi F1 must remove the iconic BP sun logo with Aral branding only for German turf for Regional Marketing Geolock policy.
