'I don't think any other team has worked as hard as we have', says Audi Racing Director Allan McNish. Everyone in F1 is pushing flat-out, but 2026 was definitely a big challenge for Audi, who began competing as a team and engine manufacturer.
Live on stage at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, Allan tells Christian Hewgill what the team has learned from their first season, their goals for the rest of this season and their long term ambitions.
Plus the former F1 driver and Le Mans winner answers your questions about how people in F1 deal with competing in a different country every race weekend, often far from home.
