Red Bull Unveils New Livery Alongside Ferrari-Powered Cadillac Debut
As the 2026 Formula 1 season approaches, excitement builds with the introduction of new car designs. One of the most anticipated developments is the unveiling of Red Bull’s updated livery and the debut of Cadillac’s entry into the sport.
Cadillac Joins Formula 1
In a significant move, Cadillac has entered the Formula 1 arena as the sport’s 11th team. The American manufacturer conducted a shakedown of its first Formula 1 car at Silverstone. This car was presented in an all-black livery, a teaser ahead of its official design reveal set for Super Bowl Sunday.
Ferrari-Powered Cadillac
This season marks a historic collaboration, as Cadillac will utilize Ferrari engines. Although it may seem unusual for an American brand to partner with a renowned Italian manufacturer, this arrangement will last for a couple of seasons. Following this period, General Motors plans to develop its own power units.
Ford Returns to Formula 1 with Red Bull
Another exciting development involves Ford’s return to Formula 1, reestablishing its partnership with Red Bull. Previously, Ford served as an engine supplier, most notably for Stewart Grand Prix before transforming it into Jaguar. This season, Ford will collaborate with Red Bull under the name Red Bull Ford Powertrains.
New Livery Launch in Detroit
Red Bull has refreshed its look with a revamped livery, which was also launched in Detroit. With new leadership and a partnership with Ford, the timing was right for this update. The brighter colors enhance visibility on the track, making it easier for fans to spot the cars.
The Racing Bulls Team
Alongside Red Bull, the sister team Racing Bulls has also introduced their new livery. This design offers a cleaner aesthetic than last year’s version while maintaining its sharp appeal. Fans can expect to see these striking liveries in the upcoming preseason testing session in Barcelona.
