Spy shots reveal Racing Bulls F1 2026 car’s on-track debut at Imola shakedown
“Spy shots have revealed the first images of Racing Bulls’ 2026 F1 car on-track for the first time, during a shakedown run at Imola.
The VCARB03, Racing Bulls’ 2026 F1 challenger, was caught on camera by photographer Filippo Perotti from FP images.
This provided a first proper look at the new Racing Bulls car, showing off its design elements, including an eye-catching airbox.
The track debut was carried out by driver Liam Lawson at the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix venue in damp conditions.
A longer ‘promotional’ or filming day run is set to take place on Wednesday, following the successful demonstration day.
The new Red Bull Powertrains engine in collaboration with Ford also had its first track running after nearly two decades since a Ford engine last powered an F1 car, back in 2004 with Jaguar Racing.
For the 2026 season, Lawson will be joined by F1 rookie Arvid Lindblad at Racing Bulls.”
