F1 2026赛季中期评分：奥迪厂队首秀开局稳健
奥迪作为厂队进入F1首个赛季，夏季休赛期前以12分位居车队积分榜第八，开局表现令人鼓舞。奥迪在去年冬季柏林发布会上明确了2030年前赢得世界冠军的目标。
F1 2026赛季中段评分：奥迪在厂队首秀中开局稳健
Motorsport.com对2026年F1赛季上半程的全部11支车队进行评分。接下来是奥迪，该队在索伯（索伯）奠定的基础上，作为厂队取得了令人鼓舞的开局
当奥迪去年冬天在柏林展示其F1项目时，它设定了一个明确的目标：到2030年赢得世界冠军。这家德国巨头无论涉足哪个赛车领域——无论是耐力赛还是达喀尔拉力赛——都习惯了成功，但它也承认，要达到这一目标还有很长的路要走。
在7月份开始将速度转化为积分之后，奥迪以12个积分在积分榜上排名第八，进入夏休期。
奥迪在接手资金不足的瑞士索伯车队这一基础之上，又接受了额外的挑战：在诺伊堡打造其史上第一台F1动力单元。
2026赛季本来就是要着眼于打好这些基础。尽管在墨尔本揭幕战拿分到第10站英国大奖赛获得第八名之间经历了漫长的连续空手而归，奥迪仍然改进了整体套件，在银石和斯帕-弗朗科尔尚这类对动力要求极高的赛道上具备了冲击中游前列的竞争力，这对车队来说是一剂真正的强心针。
让老将尼科·霍肯伯格与令人瞩目的年轻天才加布里埃尔·博托莱托搭档，将经验与亮眼的新人相结合，这一选择迄今为止也已结出硕果。
奥迪的动力单元——作为首次尝试已属可敬——仍不及梅赛德斯等对手的水平，这一点无人会感到意外。这进一步导致电池部署更高，而车队在整个赛季上半程也一直深受起步糟糕的困扰。
它还受到了一些早期严重可靠性问题的影响，导致其两名车手都未能发车。Hulkenberg 尤其倒霉，在奥地利发生的一起离奇事故就是明证：一块小石子触发了他的车的熄火开关。
Mattia Binotto，奥迪F1项目CEO：“我们正按自己制定的计划推进，一切都符合预期。如果你还没有获得所需的全部人员、工具和空间，就不能指望一夜之间取得非凡的成绩。实际上，今天的我们基本上还是去年的索伯，只是在其之上进行建设。改变所有权、品牌或赛车涂装，并不足以让你突然多出300名员工、拥有新设施和更好的工具。”
“一方面，我们的雄心非常高；另一方面，我们必须接受成长需要时间。这就需要你保持耐心，并学会管理一些挫败感。关于动力单元，这是一个长期项目，我相信奥迪将在几个赛季内拥有一台一流的动力单元。不过，至于底盘，我非常满意。”

F1 2026 mid-season grades: Audi gets off to solid start on works debut
Motorsport.com grades all 11 teams after the first half of the 2026 Formula 1 season. Next up is Audi, which is building on Sauber's foundations to make an encouraging start as a works team
When Audi presented its F1 project in Berlin last winter, it set an explicit goal of winning world championships by 2030. The German giant is used to success in any motorsport discipline it enters, whether that be endurance or the Dakar Rally, but it also acknowledged the long road it would have to walk to get there.
Audi heads into the summer break eighth in the standings on 12 points after starting to convert its pace into points over the month of July.
Building on the foundations of an underfunded Sauber team in Switzerland, Audi took on the additional challenge of producing its first-ever F1 power unit in Neuburg.
The 2026 season was always going to be about building those foundations. But while going through a long point-less streak between scoring in Melbourne's season opener and eighth place in round 10 in Britain, Audi improved its overall package to be competitive at the front of the midfield at power-hungry circuits like Silverstone and Spa-Francorchamps, which was a real shot in the arm for the squad.
Its choice to pair experience with exciting young talent in veteran Nico Hulkenberg and the remarkable Gabriel Bortoleto has also paid dividends thus far.
It's no surprise to anyone that Audi's power unit – while respectable for a first-time effort – is not up to par with the likes of Mercedes. That snowballs into higher battery deployment, while the team has also suffered from abysmal starts throughout the first half of the season.
It has also suffered from a few early crippling reliability issues which have prevented both of its drivers from making it to the start of a race. Hulkenberg has been particularly unlucky, highlighted by a freak incident in Austria where a piece of gravel engaged his car's kill switch.
Mattia Binotto, Audi F1 project CEO: "We're on track with the plan we set for ourselves and everything is going as expected. If you don't yet have all the people, tools, and space you need, you can't expect extraordinary results overnight. Today, in effect, we're still the Sauber of last year, with everything we're building on top. Changing ownership, brand, or car livery isn't enough to suddenly find yourself with 300 more people, new facilities, and better tools.
"On the one hand, there are very high ambitions, on the other, we need to accept that growth takes time. This is where you need to be patient and learn to manage some frustration. Regarding the power unit, it's a long-term project and I'm convinced Audi will have a top-notch power unit within a couple of seasons. Regarding the chassis, however, I'm very satisfied."
