Red Bull Racing and its sister team Racing Bulls have revealed their new liveries for the 2026 Formula 1 season in Detroit, marking the start of a major new chapter defined by sweeping technical changes and the debut of their own power units developed with Ford.
Red Bull Racing and Racing Bulls have officially unveiled their 2026 Formula 1 liveries during a joint event in Detroit, offering the first visual glimpse of how both teams will enter one of the biggest regulation resets in modern F1 history.
The 2026 season will introduce all-new technical rules, with fundamental changes to both chassis design and power unit architecture. For Red Bull and Racing Bulls, the year carries extra significance, as it will mark the first time both teams compete using power units built under the Red Bull banner.
From 2026, both outfits will run engines produced by Red Bull Powertrains, developed in partnership with Ford. The project represents a major strategic shift for the Milton Keynes-based operation, which has invested heavily in creating a full in-house engine programme ahead of the new regulations.
While the liveries retain strong visual links to each team’s identity, the Detroit launch underlined that the focus is firmly on the future. Behind the familiar colours lies a completely new technical platform, designed to meet stricter sustainability targets and a revised balance between electrical power and internal combustion.
Red Bull Racing will once again place its trust in Max Verstappen, who finished second in last year’s drivers’ championship, alongside a new teammate in Isack Hadjar, who steps up after his rookie campaign in 2025. As a team, Red Bull will be defending third place in the Constructors’ Championship as it enters the new regulation cycle.
Racing Bulls, who finished sixth in the 2025 season, will again field Liam Lawson, while welcoming talented 18-year-old Arvid Lindblad to the Formula 1 grid for the first time.
