Red Bull has revealed its Ford-embellished 2026 Formula 1 livery during its launch event in Detroit. <\/p>\n

Red Bull has a striking new paint scheme that celebrates its new partnership with Ford, ahead of Red Bull’s first season with a homegrown engine.<\/p>\n

Red Bull and Ford initially announced their partnership back in 2023<\/a>, after Honda announced its departure from F1<\/a> – a move it would later reverse, eventually resulting in a new works engine partnership with Aston Martin for 2026.<\/a><\/p>\n

Red Bull and Ford kicked off their new era with a launch event in Detroit for both Red Bull’s F1 teams on Thursday night. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As well as a more standard showcar on-site, it released renders of its new livery on a 2026 showcar (above) that appeared different in many aspects from the previous showcar displayed by the FIA and F1. <\/p>\n

Showcar supplier Memento can make teams bespoke variants. <\/p>\n

So while the car in Red Bull’s renders looks different, it’s highly unlikely to resemble the RB22 that rolls out for the first pre-season test at Barcelona later this month. <\/p>\n

You’ll notice the #3 on Verstappen’s car for the first time, as world champion Lando Norris has taken his #1. <\/p>\n

Rather than reverting back to his former #33 number, he’s taken the #3 that Daniel Ricciardo – present at the launch in his new role as a Ford ambassador – last used in 2024. <\/p>\n

Verstappen will be joined at Red Bull Racing in 2026 by Isack Hadjar, who steps up after a single impressive season<\/a> at Racing Bulls. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Red Bull has revealed its Ford-embellished 2026 Formula 1 livery during its launch event in Detroit.
