Red Bull Racing has unveiled its new car for the 2026 F1 season, featuring a new, distinct team with undertones of Ford, the engine supply partner.
The most striking change in this year's car is the integration of the Blue Oval's identity and the traditional Red Bull dark navy colour that once again becomes the base. It is now disrupted by a scattered, digital camouflage pattern in a lighter, electric blue.
For the first time in years, the Red Bull logo itself has evolved. The team has returned to a white outline for the massive "Red Bull" text on the sidepods, which is a nod to their early days in the sport, which pops aggressively against the darker background.
The new cars were unveiled in Detroit, Michigan, through an official YouTube livestream. Talking about the Ford and Red Bull partnership that culminated in Red Bull Powertrains (RBPT), Phil Ford, Executive Chairman at Ford, said, "Together, we will be unstoppable."
Another key highlight of the new car is the "Ford Racing" logo, which now occupies prime real estate on the engine cover and beneath the cockpit, sitting shoulder-to-shoulder with title sponsor Oracle.
"It's much better. I've been asking for this for a while," said Max Verstappen, reacting to the new livery.
