There are two launches for 2026 down, and nine still to go, but after Red Bull and Racing Bulls kicked off launch season, who is the next team in the spotlight?
The F1 2026 launch season has begun with Red Bull and Racing Bulls presenting their cars in Michigan alongside new engine partner Ford, showcasing a fresh new livery for Red Bull’s RB22 and subtle updates for Racing Bulls with a Ford influence. While the cars revealed are just initial versions, the spotlight shifts to Haas as the next team scheduled to unveil their 2026 car on January 19th, featuring a new title sponsor reflecting their tie-up with Toyota and drivers Esteban Ocon and Oliver Bearman. Haas moved their launch date earlier to avoid clashing with two other team launches on the same day, with a total of five team launches expected between January 19th and January 23rd, including Audi, Mercedes, and Ferrari. The coming week promises more excitement as F1 fans eagerly anticipate the reveals of new cars and liveries for the 2026 season.
