Audi's arrival in Formula 1 as a full works team is one of 2026's biggest storylines, and 2026 Topps Chrome Formula 1 builds that debut directly into its own 200-card checklist.
Nico Hulkenberg and Gabriel Bortoleto carry the Audi Revolut F1 Team name across base cards, a dedicated team logo card, a duo card, and a run of insert sets spanning the full release.
That's a meaningfully different footprint than a single autograph slot buried in a crowded checklist. Audi's cards show up at nearly every level of the product's own base and insert structure.
Here is exactly where Audi Revolut lands inside Chrome F1 itself, card by card.
Card #187 in the 200-card base set is the Audi Revolut F1 Team logo card, sitting inside the F1 Team Logo Cards subset alongside every other constructor on the 2026 grid, including fellow debut team Cadillac at #189. This is the checklist's single clearest marker of Audi's arrival as a full manufacturer entry rather than a driver-only afterthought.
Like every base card in the set, the logo card carries the full refractor parallel ladder underneath it, running from the standard Refractor through Pink /250, Aqua /199, Blue /150, Green /99, Purple /75, Gold /50, Orange /25, Full Grid /22, Black /10, Red /5, and Printing Plates 1/1.
Nico Hulkenberg holds card #17 and Gabriel Bortoleto holds #18 in the F1 Drivers portion of the base set, placing them directly in the main driver run rather than a separate debut-team subset. Both names also appear again at #105 and #106 in the F1 Cars subset, giving Audi Revolut two separate base-card appearances per driver before any insert set is even considered.
That double placement, drivers plus cars, mirrors how every other constructor on the grid is treated in the checklist, which is itself notable. Audi's base-set integration reads identically to established teams rather than carrying any kind of newcomer treatment.
Card #176 pairs Hulkenberg and Bortoleto together in the F1 Duo Cards subset, the same insert concept that pairs Max Verstappen with Isack Hadjar and Sergio Perez with Valtteri Bottas elsewhere in the base set. A duo card built specifically around Audi's own driver lineup gives collectors a single card that represents the entire team rather than one driver at a time.
Team-duo cards tend to carry strong demand precisely because they capture a storyline, not just a roster slot, and a brand-new manufacturer's first paired card is exactly the kind of card worth setting aside and displaying in a magnetic acrylic display case rather than filing it into a box with the rest of the singles.
Hulkenberg shows up at #140 and Bortoleto at #142 in the Grand Prix Driver of the Day subset, a performance-based insert built around race-weekend recognition rather than a guaranteed roster slot. That placement means both Audi drivers already earned a Driver of the Day nod worth commemorating on a card, not just a participation slot handed out by default.
For a brand-new team entering the grid, having both drivers represented in a results-driven insert like this is a stronger signal of on-track relevance than a logo or base card alone could show.
Beyond the base set, Hulkenberg and Bortoleto both carry autograph slots in the 91-card Chrome Autographs checklist (CAC-NH and CAC-GB) and the 22-card Vuelta 1 Autographs insert (VUE-NH and VUE-GB). Both names also appear across every full-field insert set built around specific race weekends, including Abu Dhabi At Night, Helix, the Helmet Collection, and Speed Wheels.
That consistent -17/-18 slotting across insert after insert confirms Audi Revolut was built into the checklist's full structure from the start, not patched in as a late addition once the team's branding was finalized.
Topps also released a separate, standalone first-ever Audi F1 card product tied to the brand's own launch event, sold directly through Topps' website rather than folded into Chrome F1's checklist. That's a genuinely different product answering a different collector question than the base-set and insert placement covered here.
Anyone specifically chasing that standalone Berlin launch collectible should look at our dedicated breakdown of it, since none of that content crosses over into Chrome F1's own checklist.

Yes, in both the Chrome Autographs checklist and the Vuelta 1 Autographs insert.
With a logo card, two base-card appearances per driver, a duo card, and a spot in nearly every insert set, Audi Revolut's debut touches more of this checklist than most single-season team introductions ever do. Pick up protective sleeves sized for thicker memorabilia cards before your first box ships so an early Audi pull has somewhere safe to land.
