White, bold and ready: Racing Bulls unveil 2026 VCARB livery

Racing Bulls has officially ushered in its next chapter, unveiling the all-new VCARB for the 2026 Formula 1 season and doing so with a confident sense of continuity mixed with fresh ambition.

Pulling the covers off its latest challenger, the Anglo-Italian outfit has doubled down on a visual identity that proved a hit last year.

The car retains its elegant white base, a look that helped Racing Bulls stand out on the grid in 2025, while subtle refinements hint at the bigger changes unfolding beneath the surface.

Familiar Colours, New Ambition

The 2026 VCARB keeps white at its heart, complemented by sharp black detailing and flashes of blue that give the car a cleaner, more assertive edge.

Title partners Visa and Cash App continue to dominate the most prominent real estate on the chassis, underlining the stability off-track that Racing Bulls believes is vital heading into Formula 1’s new technical era.

The addition of blue streaks along the engine cover and sidepods carries extra meaning this year, serving as a visual nod to the team’s new power unit partner, Ford, as part of the wider Red Bull Ford Powertrains project.

On track, the team will field a refreshed driver line-up. Liam Lawson returns for what will be his first full season with the same team, while highly rated youngster Arvid Lindblad steps up as the only rookie on the 2026 grid following Isack Hadjar’s promotion to Red Bull’s senior squad.

Momentum is firmly on Racing Bulls’ side. The team finished sixth in the 2025 constructors’ standings, matching its best-ever result, and celebrated its sixth Formula 1 podium thanks to Hadjar’s electrifying third-place finish at Zandvoort.

Team principal Alan Permane, who remains at the helm after taking over midway through last season, highlighted the scale of the opportunity that lies ahead.

“The Red Bull Ford Powertrains project brings together world-class engineering, innovation and racing DNA, and it puts us in a strong position as the sport enters this new era.

“We have been working closely with the team and are proud of what the Red Bull family have developed. It’s something we’re excited to have in our race car as we hit the track in the coming weeks”.

With a proven colour scheme, renewed confidence and a powerful partnership now baked into its future, Racing Bulls heads into 2026 looking anything but like a team content to stand still.
