Red Bull has revealed its Ford-embellished 2026 Formula 1 livery during its launch event in Detroit.

Red Bull has a striking new paint scheme that celebrates its new partnership with Ford, ahead of Red Bull's first season with a homegrown engine.

Red Bull and Ford initially announced their partnership back in 2023, after Honda announced its departure from F1 - a move it would later reverse, eventually resulting in a new works engine partnership with Aston Martin for 2026.

Red Bull and Ford kicked off their new era with a launch event in Detroit for both Red Bull's F1 teams on Thursday night.

As well as a more standard showcar on-site, it released renders of its new livery on a 2026 showcar (above) that appeared different in many aspects from the previous showcar displayed by the FIA and F1.

Showcar supplier Memento can make teams bespoke variants.

So while the car in Red Bull's renders looks different, it's highly unlikely to resemble the RB22 that rolls out for the first pre-season test at Barcelona later this month.

You'll notice the #3 on Verstappen's car for the first time, as world champion Lando Norris has taken his #1.

Rather than reverting back to his former #33 number, he's taken the #3 that Daniel Ricciardo - present at the launch in his new role as a Ford ambassador - last used in 2024.

Verstappen will be joined at Red Bull Racing in 2026 by Isack Hadjar, who steps up after a single impressive season at Racing Bulls.
