Audi Revolut F1 Team has appointed Elastic as its Official Search and Observability Supplier from the 2027 season under a multi-year agreement.
The partnership builds on technology already deployed by the team rather than beginning as a branding-only arrangement. Audi uses Elastic as the foundation of a central software-logging platform: Logstash collects and processes application logs, Elasticsearch makes the records searchable, and Kibana supplies dashboards and analysis.
According to the partners, engineers use the platform to investigate software issues across connected applications. The team also uses Elastic trackside to examine logs generated by wheel-set management software. The release does not say that Elastic processes vehicle telemetry, controls the car or makes sporting decisions, so MRI has not described it as a performance system.
The published scope focuses on centralising logs, correlating events, identifying patterns and helping technical staff trace errors to possible root causes. Elastic and Audi say dashboards and alerts can expose issues before they consume engineering time, while the agreement creates scope to examine further engineering applications.
Elastic will first appear as an Official Race Partner at the 2026 United States Grand Prix, with branding on the Audi R26 halo and headrest. Its supplier designation starts in 2027. The companies have not disclosed the contract value, full term, licence count, hosting model, security architecture, support staffing or timetable for any additional deployments.
The distinction matters because the deal combines a commercial rights package with an established software relationship. The official announcement supports the existence and broad purpose of the tools, but it does not publish performance benchmarks, incident data or independently verified time savings.
