Elastic has announced a new multi-year partnership with Audi Revolut F1 Team, building on the team's existing use of Elastic technology to support its engineering software operations. Elastic joins as Official Race Partner for the 2026 United States Grand Prix in Austin, Texas, and will become its Official Search and Observability Supplier starting from the 2027 season.
Elastic has announced a multi-year partnership with Audi Revolut F1 Team.
Elastic joins as Official Race Partner for the 2026 United States Grand Prix and becomes Official Search and Observability Supplier from the 2027 season.
The team already uses Elastic as the foundation of its central software logging platform, with Logstash collecting logs, Elasticsearch making them searchable and Kibana providing dashboards.
The team also uses Elastic on trackside to investigate logs from wheel-set management software.
The partnership will be activated at the 2026 United States Grand Prix in Austin, October 23–25, with Elastic branding on the Audi R26 halo and headrest.
Elasticsearch is used by more than 75% of the Fortune 100.
"The motorsport environment may be extreme, but the challenge is familiar to us. When critical operations depend on complex, distributed data, teams need to find what matters, understand what's happening, and act fast. Audi Revolut F1 Team already uses Elastic to give technical teams one place to search software logs and investigate issues across connected applications. We look forward to building on that work together and exploring how Search and Observability can support more of the team's engineering environment," said Ash Kulkarni, chief executive officer, Elastic.
"We are proud to welcome Elastic for the first time into the fast-moving world of Formula 1. Data is of utmost importance in our sport, and Elastic is a brand that understands this and will help us to excel under pressure. Modern Formula 1 is built on data. Performance comes from finding the right signals in that data, understanding what's happening across complex systems, and acting quickly. We are excited to be partnering with Elastic and their world-class Search and Observability solutions, allowing our engineers to spot anomalies earlier and investigate faster," said Stefano Battiston, chief commercial and brand officer, Audi Revolut F1 Team.
Behind Audi Revolut F1 Team's on-track ambitions is a complex engineering software environment where reliability matters. The team already uses Elastic technology as the foundation of its central software logging platform; Logstash collects and processes application logs, Elasticsearch makes those logs searchable, and Kibana provides dashboards and analysis. Unlike a new sponsorship-only relationship, the partnership builds on technology already in use.
The current deployment gives engineers a central place to search application logs, examine patterns and investigate software faster. The collaboration focuses on three areas:
Find what matters, fast, across connected engineering systems: Engineers can centralize software logs from connected applications across the factory and the track.
Catch issues before they cost engineering time: With dashboards, alerts and correlated logs, engineers can spot issues that need attention.
Turn engineering context into faster answers: The team's central log platform is building a foundation of context, turning events, errors, and patterns into insight.
The partnership will be activated at the 2026 United States Grand Prix in Austin, Texas, October 23–25, with Elastic branding on the Audi R26 halo and headrest.
