Red Bull Racing showcased their fresh livery for the upcoming Formula 1 2026 season at an event hosted at Michigan Central Station. The team, based in Milton Keynes, introduced their new design in Detroit, collaborating with Ford to develop their inaugural Formula 1 Power Unit.
Pilot Martin Sonka amazed spectators by unveiling the vehicle with a daring maneuver in his plane. Red Bull’s new livery, reminiscent of their original gloss finish from 2005, features a “heritage white base” in the RB22’s 2026 design, enhancing depth and clarity while emphasizing the iconic sun and bull logo.
For the 2026 season, Isack Hadjar will join four-time world champion Max Verstappen, departing from sister team Racing Bulls. Red Bull, aiming to repeat their 2023 Teams’ Championship victory, aspires to secure another World Championship title. Verstappen will race with the number 3, a change from 33, previously held by former teammate Daniel Ricciardo.
Despite finishing third in the Teams’ Championship, Red Bull mounted a strong comeback in the 2024 season, with Verstappen challenging for the drivers’ title until the penultimate race in Abu Dhabi. Hadjar, continuing with number six after transitioning from Racing Bulls, will be under the supervision of Pierre Wache in the technical team, while Laurent Mekies, who took over as Team Principal from Christian Horner mid-season, will lead the team.
