Red Bull and Racing Bulls became the first two teams to unveil their 2026 cars to the world in Detroit. But how did the internet react? GPblog takes a look!

Red Bull livery impresses everyone

With Red Bull and Racing Bulls both using Red Bull Ford engines, Detroit, Michigan, was the backdrop for the first livery reveal of 2026.
As a result of the new partnership with Ford, a new-look Red Bull was unveiled, featuring blue accents that run all the way across the RB22.

A glossy finish to the livery also harks back to previous iterations of Red Bull, which led to widespread praise online for the Austrian team’s design.

Racing Bulls add subtle change

For Racing Bulls, there wasn't a massive change to their 2026 livery, keeping the fan-favourite white colour scheme for another year.
However, they will also be using Red Bull Ford engines, and some blue accents to their livery highlight the new partnership with Ford.
Like the Red Bull reveal, there were plenty of rave reviews for the Italian team’s livery, although it attracted slightly more criticism than the Austrian team’s design.
