Drivers Liam Lawson<\/a> and Arvid Lindblad<\/a> \u2013 whose race suits were showcased a few days ago \u2013 helped to reveal the livery of their 2026 challenger at the event. With 1,500 guests in attendance, fans followed the action through the livestream to see the new machine. Following the popularity of the squad\u2019s all-white look in 2025, the team have again opted for a similar look, adding sleek blue accents along the contours of the chassis in a nod to the new partnership with Ford.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis launch captures the evolution of Visa Cash App Racing Bulls as a brand and as a racing team,\u201d said CEO Peter Bayer. \u201cFrom having Detroit as a backdrop representing our partnership with Ford, to the creators, fans and communities we\u2019ve brought into this launch, everything reflects our ambition to stand for being a culture-first team. We want to connect with the next generation in a way that feels authentic, bold and inclusive, and this moment marks the continuation of what we do both on and off the track.\u201d<\/p>\n

Team Principal Alan Permane added: \u201c2026 represents one of the biggest technical changes Formula 1\u00ae has seen, and partnering with Ford at the very start of this journey is hugely significant for us. The Red Bull Ford Powertrains project brings together world-class engineering, innovation and racing DNA, and it puts us in a strong position as the sport enters this new era. We have been working closely together and are proud of what the Red Bull family have developed. It\u2019s something we\u2019re excited to have in our race car as we hit the track in the coming weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n

As he prepares to race again for the team, Lawson commented: \u201cLaunching the 2026 livery here in Detroit makes the moment feel even more special. The history of innovation in this place really reflects what this team is building for the future. The partnership between Ford and Red Bull, the energy around the team, and the ambition for what\u2019s ahead make this an incredibly exciting time to be part of VCARB. I\u2019m more motivated than ever to push forward and help turn that vision into results on track.\u201d<\/p>\n

And Lindblad \u2013 who will be the only rookie on the grid in 2026 \u2013 said: \u201cThis moment is honestly surreal. To be introduced as a Formula 1\u00ae driver at an event like this, in such an iconic setting, is something I\u2019ll never forget. The team\u2019s vision, the new power unit, and the belief they\u2019ve shown in me mean a lot. I\u2019m ready to learn, to work, and to give everything on track as we start this new chapter together.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Drivers Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad \u2013 whose race suits were showcased a few days ago \u2013 helped…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":422413,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[573],"tags":[64,16483,63,16482,817,16481,813,816,647,85],"class_list":["post-422412","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-formula-1","tag-au","tag-ausgp","tag-australia","tag-australian-grand-prix","tag-f1","tag-f1-tickets","tag-formula-1","tag-formula1","tag-melbourne","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/422412","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=422412"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/422412\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/422413"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=422412"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=422412"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=422412"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
