Racing Bulls was one of the first Formula 1 teams to unveil its new 2026 livery. The reveal took place at the large-scale season launch in Detroit, where sister team Red Bull also pulled the cover off the new RB22. Drivers Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad will again campaign a white VCARB 03 next season, now fitted with a brand-new power unit supplied by partner Ford.
After the success of the all-white look in 2025, Racing Bulls has chosen an ‘evolution’ of the current livery. The colour scheme is augmented with blue accents as a nod to the new collaboration with Ford. “This launch reflects the evolution of Racing Bulls as a brand and as a race team,” said CEO Peter Bayer. “We want to engage the next generation in an authentic, bold and inclusive way, and this moment marks the continuation of what we do both on and off the track.”
‘More motivated than ever’
“2026 represents one of the biggest technical changes Formula 1 has ever seen,” added team principal Alan Permane. “The partnership with Ford at the start of this journey is hugely important to us. We’ve worked closely and are proud of what the Red Bull family has developed.” For Liam Lawson, who returns as a full-time driver after a turbulent 2025, the presentation was a special moment. “The livery reveal here in Detroit makes it extra special,” he said. “I’m more motivated than ever.”
For rookie Arvid Lindblad the event was equally unforgettable. The young Brit is the only debutant on the grid in 2026. “This moment is truly surreal,” he added. “To be introduced as a Formula 1 driver at an event like this, in such an iconic setting, is something I will never forget.” The 18-year-old looks ahead to his first season in the sport’s top tier with confidence. “The team’s vision, the new power unit and the trust they’ve shown in me mean a great deal. I’m ready to learn, work hard and give everything out on track.”
