Red Bull went first at the season launch event in Detroit, alongside American Ford. The team is the first to unveil its car for the 2026 season. Red Bull sticks with its familiar design, but the livery breaks with the matte look of the past few years. Max Verstappen and teammate Isack Hadjar will race this season in a glossy RB22.
Red Bull will race next season in a predominantly blue car. The design differs little from the liveries of recent years, but the colour scheme is set apart by a glossy finish. In recent seasons Red Bull consistently used a matte look, but with the introduction of the new regulations Verstappen will run a glossy chassis.
