FAENZA — Sunday, January 18, 2026 — Racing Bulls has set the pace for the 2026 season by becoming the first team on the grid to officially unveil its livery for the upcoming technical cycle. The launch marks a pivotal shift for the Faenza-based squad as it fully integrates into the Red Bull Ford ecosystem, sporting a fresh aesthetic and a high-stakes driver lineup led by the grid’s only true rookie.
The Livery: Modernity in White and Blue
For 2026, Racing Bulls has evolved its visual identity while staying true to its recent roots. The new design maintains the predominantly white base that fans have come to recognize, but introduces a more aggressive contrast with expanded, broad blue and black accents.
One of the most striking details is the inclusion of the Ford Racing logo on the engine cover, signaling the team’s transition to the first-ever power unit developed entirely within the Red Bull organization in Milton Keynes. To complete the “clean” aerodynamic look, the team has introduced white wheel covers, a sleek detail that emphasizes the modern proportions of the 2026 chassis.

Driver Lineup: Stability Meets New Blood
The team enters 2026 riding the momentum of its best performance in years. After finishing 6th in the 2025 Constructors’ Championship, Racing Bulls is banking on a mix of proven speed and raw potential:
-
Liam Lawson: Returning for his second full season, Lawson is now the established leader of the team. His stellar 2025 campaign proved he belongs at the front of the midfield, and his experience will be vital as the team adapts to the new engine.
-
Arvid Lindblad: The 18-year-old British sensation makes his highly anticipated Formula 1 debut. As the only rookie on the 2026 grid, Lindblad faces immense pressure, but his rapid ascent through the Red Bull Junior program suggests he is ready for the challenge.
Technical Synergy: The Red Bull Ford Era
The most significant change lies beneath the bodywork. Racing Bulls will move away from its previous engine partnerships to utilize the Red Bull Ford power unit. This move ensures total technical alignment with the senior Red Bull Racing team, allowing for a more cohesive integration of the chassis and the new, hybrid-heavy engine.
