Red Bull Release New Logo for 2026 F1 Season as One Major Difference Spotted

Red Bull Racing have released a new team logo ahead of the 2026 Formula 1 season.

During the 2025 campaign, Red Bull underwent a number of changes.

At the start of the year, Liam Lawson was replaced by Yuki Tsunoda after just two races. The Japanese has since been dropped, with Isack Hadjar set to drive alongside Max Verstappen next season.

Meanwhile, long-serving team principal and CEO Christian Horner was relieved of his duties in a shock move that was confirmed in July.

Horner was replaced by Laurent Mekies, who was promoted from sister team Visa Cash App Racing Bulls.

Since Mekies took over, Red Bull experienced an upturn in form, allowing Verstappen to take the title race to the last Grand Prix.

However, the Dutchman ended up second, with McLaren's Lando Norris clinching the title by just two points.

This week, Red Bull unveiled their new team logo ahead of the 2026 F1 season.

Taking to social media, Red Bull posted a picture of the new logo, with a caption that read: "What’s new, 2026?"

Although it looks largely the same, one major change was the return of the white outline surrounding the 'Red Bull' lettering, which was last used back in 2015.

As per Planet F1, the change in the new logo has sparked rumours that Red Bull could 'move away from the matte-blue livery in place since 2016, which saw the words ‘Red Bull’ appear in a dayglo-red colour'.

What did Max Verstappen say about Red Bull's F1 livery?

Speaking previously, Verstappen himself stated that team should return to a more 'shiny' livery.

He said ahead of 2025: "The livery, I hope it’s a bit different. I was actually talking about it today, I actually really like these cars as well [pointing at older Red Bulls behind him] with the shiny colour.

"We’ve had so many matte-blue cars, but I think sometimes it’s just nice to spice it up a little bit."

Red Bull and Racing Bulls are set to unveil their 2026 liveries at the Ford season launch event, which will be held in Detroit on January 15.
