Audi has made Öhlins its official supplier during the team’s first Formula 1 campaign, formalising a technical collaboration that began before its Grand Prix debut in March. The Swedish suspension specialist has worked with Audi on a joint programme covering engineering, testing and damper performance.

Urban Herslöf, Öhlins Group’s engineering director, called the agreement a milestone in the company’s motorsport history and said it gives Öhlins a platform to extend its work with Audi.

The relationship reaches back beyond Formula 1. Öhlins supplied dampers for Audi’s DTM programme in the 2000s, including for the Audi A4 DTM introduced in 2004. From 1999 to 2016, Audi Sport used Öhlins dampers across several generations of sports prototypes at the 24 Hours of Le Mans; Audi Sport recorded 13 overall victories there during that period.
