Audi brings a Sao Paulo livery built on the city’s pavement

Audi has presented a one-off livery for the Sao Paulo Grand Prix based on the Piso Paulista, the geometric pavement pattern that covers the sidewalks of the city.

The design was created in the 1960s by the artist Mirthes Bernardes on a commission from the city authorities. It was never an official emblem, and it became one anyway: the black and white waves are recognized by anyone who has walked through Sao Paulo.

This is Audi’s first Brazilian Grand Prix under its own name after taking over the Sauber entry, and the team has a Brazilian driver in Gabriel Bortoleto, who is running his own one-off helmet this weekend.
