Nuvolari, widely regarded as one of the greatest drivers of the pre-World War II era, famously competed in the Auto Union Type D machinery in the late 1930s, with those cars ultimately evolving into Audi\u2019s modern motorsport lineage.<\/p>\n

In tribute to the Italian, Audi has replaced elements of its usual fluorescent red with a bright yellow accent across the R26, including the rear sections of the sidepods and the four-ring Audi logo on the rear wing.<\/p>\n

The same emblem appeared on the historic Auto Union cars driven by Nuvolari during his career.<\/p>\n

Drivers Nico Hulkenberg and Gabriel Bortoleto will also wear special race suits matching the revised livery as Audi marks its first Monaco appearance with a dedicated design.<\/p>\n

Nuvolari\u2019s career included 24 Grand Prix victories, success at the Mille Miglia and a win at the Le Mans 24 Hours, with his racing legacy stretching into the immediate pre-war period before the disruption of World War II brought an end to the original Auto Union program.<\/p>\n

Audi\u2019s decision to launch the tribute at Monaco carries additional significance, with Nuvolari also having claimed victory in the early years of the principality\u2019s famous street race.<\/p>\n

The themed design adds to a growing list of special liveries on the grid this weekend, with McLaren marking its 1000th Grand Prix with a commemorative look<\/a>, while Aston Martin has introduced a one-off colour-changing design<\/a> for the Monte Carlo event.<\/p>\n
