The Red Bull Racing Formula One team and its apparel partner Castore have collaborated with Hypebeast to sport a new look for the upcoming Singapore Grand Prix and the Las Vegas Grand Prix scheduled in November.
Max Verstappen, Yuki Tsunoda, and the entire team will feature a night camo look with a dark blue color at the Marina Bay Street Circuit, which will be a step away from Red Bull’s traditional red and blue. Announcing the new partnership, Nick Stocker, group commercial director at Red Bull, said:
“This project with Castore and Hypebeast has set a new standard for creative brand collaboration.
“Singapore and Las Vegas are unique grands prix on the calendar, and the design reflects the energy and vibe of these night races in the heart of the city.
“Releasing this collection with Hypebeast allows us to show up in the spaces that matter to our fans. I’m excited to see the team step out with a fresh look in Singapore.”
Kevin Wong, vice president of creative at Hypebeast, added:
“This partnership with Oracle Red Bull Racing and Castore is a testament to our shared creative vision. We set out to bring a fresh perspective to the iconic Oracle Red Bull Racing kit by re-envisioning motorsport through a streetwear lens – creating a collection that resonates with a new generation of fans.
“We’re incredibly excited to see the team debut our designs on the world stage.”

Red Bull is expected to be a strong contender in Singapore, given Verstappen’s dominance in the last two races at Monza and Baku. He won the Azerbaijan GP after starting from pole position and never faced a significant threat from any other driver, given the challenges McLaren faced with Oscar Piastri’s crash and Lando Norris’ P7 race start.
Despite the strong showing, the four-time world champion does not have high hopes for the Singapore GP due to the high downforce nature of the circuit. Verstappen said:
“This weekend has been incredible for us. Monza was already great but for us to win here is fantastic. The car was working really well on both compounds. We had clean air all the time, so you could look after your tyres, and it was pretty straightforward.
“It’s never easy around here, very windy today, so the car was moving around a lot. I’m incredibly happy with this performance.”
When asked if Red Bull would be able to carry this momentum forward, he said:
“It’s difficult to say at the moment but, for sure, the last two weekends have been amazing for us. Singapore is a challenge again with the high downforce.”
