Red Bull has unveiled the livery that will adorn the RB21 car that Max Verstappen will attempt to retain the Drivers’ title with once again in the 2025 F1 season.
At the F1 75 season launch event in London’s O2, Red Bull unveiled its design scheme for the upcoming campaign along with the other nine teams. Despite hints from Verstappen for a matte finish overhaul, Red Bull’s livery remains unchanged, with the only difference being the logo of new partner Gate.io on the rear wing. Verstappen aims to match Michael Schumacher’s record with five consecutive Drivers’ Championships this season, despite facing internal turmoil and competitiveness issues in 2024. Red Bull lost the Constructors’ title to McLaren and Ferrari last year, partly due to Perez’s struggles, resulting in him losing his seat to Lawson. Next in line to partner Verstappen, Lawson will join the Dutch driver for a shakedown of the RB21 in Bahrain before pre-season testing, as Red Bull skips the Silverstone event. The RB21 marks the first Red Bull car since 2005 not designed by Adrian Newey, who will be starting work with Aston Martin soon.
