Red Bull unveils the RB22 on the first day of the Barcelona winter test

The Milton Keynes-based team began the season with hosting its car livery launch on 15 January in Detroit, Michigan, the home of Ford.

Now, the team has shared the first images of the car four-time world champion Verstappen and young talent Hadjar will drive in the 2026 Formula 1 campaign.

Today also marks the first day of pre-season testing at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. The Austrian team will already be in action this Monday, as both Verstappen and Hadjar will complete miles in the new machinery.

This will also be the first time that a Red Bull Racing car will drive miles using the new Red Bull Ford power unit. The last week, Racing Bulls completed a shakedown at Imola, but this is the first time the RB22 itself will go out on track.
