Red Bull organized a competition for fans to design the team’s liveries at three races in celebration of their 20th season in the sport. A custom design was used at the British Grand Prix, but Red Bull had to abandon plans to run revised schemes in Singapore and Austin due to their performance regression. This decision followed their six-race winless streak and losing the Constructors’ Championship lead to McLaren. The weight added by the custom paint on the RB20 affected performance, leading to the team’s focus on competitiveness for the remainder of the 2024 season. The FIA is considering separable liveries in 2025 to address the issue of growing similarities in car designs caused by weight concerns and carbon exposure.
