We have just revealed our 2026 livery in Detroit, turning the city’s historic Michigan Central Station into the backdrop for the next chapter of our Formula One journey.
It was more than a car reveal. It was a statement about where we are heading, who we are building with and the community we are building for.
Surrounded by fans, creators and partners, the night brought together VCARB, Ford Racing and Oracle Red Bull Racing to celebrate a new era of performance and creativity, powered by the first-ever Red Bull Ford Powertrains power unit.
Our 2026 Livery
In front of 1,500 guests in Detroit and fans watching around the world on YouTube and Red Bull TV, we revealed our 2026 car.
After becoming a fan favourite last season, the all-white look stays. This year it comes sharpened. Clean blue accents flow through the chassis, a subtle nod to our partnership with Ford and a design that feels faster, tighter and more purposeful. Same identity. New edge.
Arvid Lindblad joins the team as the youngest and only rookie on the Formula One grid this season. Five years after telling Lando Norris he would see him on the grid, Arvid has delivered on that promise. His journey through the Red Bull Junior Programme has been defined by speed, focus and relentless drive, and now it continues at the highest level.
Next season sees Red Bull and Ford take on Formula One together as power unit manufacturers. It is a partnership built on shared ambition, technical excellence and a refusal to follow convention.
Ford brings more than a century of racing heritage and innovation. We bring the Red Bull spirit that has been pushing boundaries for over two decades. Together, Red Bull Ford Powertrains represents one of the most exciting projects in the sport as Formula One enters a new technical era.
As seen on the livery, Octave joins VCARB as an Asset Lifecycle Management Partner. Spinning out of Hexagon AB, Octave will support the team across a wide range of strategic and operational decision-making processes.
Our first Creator Platform moment of 2026 saw photographer Gian Icatar join us in Detroit to capture the launch through his lens. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Gian’s work blends sport, community and storytelling, shaped by his upbringing and lived experience. His perspective brought the night to life in a way only creators can.
We also invited fans directly into the event itself. Through a global competition, fans designed the official entry wristband for the launch. After a public vote, the winning design by Magdalena Olech from Ireland earned her a trip to Detroit to see her work worn on the night.
Fresh Threads for a New Season
Earlier this week, we dropped our 2026 team kit. Built at the intersection of performance, fashion and community, it is designed to connect with the next generation of fans.
Revealed by Liam, Arvid and a group of creative voices shaping culture beyond the paddock, the kit continues our mission to give emerging talent a platform and to push Formula One style forward.
