Red Bull Unveils 2026 F1 Livery: Glossy Finish, Lighter Blue for Ford Partnership

Formula 1 Giants Red Bull Racing on Friday unveiled their new livery for the 2026 F1 season, revealing a refreshed design that marks a subtle but notable shift from the team’s traditional look. The launch offered fans a first glimpse of Red Bull’s visual identity ahead of a season that will usher in major technical changes across the sport.

The new livery retains Red Bull’s familiar branding while introducing a glossier and lighter shade of blue, a move that reflects the team’s new engine partnership with Ford. The updated color palette represents a departure from the darker blue that has become synonymous with Red Bull’s dominance in recent seasons, signalling a new chapter as the team prepares for the 2026 regulations.

Four-time Formula 1 world champion Max Verstappen is set to continue leading the team in 2026, alongside rising talent Isack Hadjar. The driver pairing underlines Red Bull’s blend of proven championship pedigree and youthful promise as it looks to maintain its competitive edge in a changing F1 landscape.
