Red Bull presented the RB22, the car with which it will compete in the 2026 Formula 1 season, and surprised by playing with nostalgia due to the white color surrounding the logo. The model maintains Red Bull's typical design, where blue predominates, accompanied by the logo with red bulls. However, the detail that moved the fans was the white lines surrounding the logo, which replaced the yellow ones used since 2016. The presentation of this new car was made through several posts on the team's social media, to which the Argentine News Agency had access. Red Bull will seek to dominate Formula 1 again. These white lines brought to mind the models with which German Sebastian Vettel shone, who consecutively won four times between 2010 and 2013. In this 2026, Red Bull will have novelties not only in the design but also in the engine, as it will leave Honda behind to switch to Ford. Taking this last aspect and the major regulatory changes into account, the performance of the Austrian team will be a complete mystery at least until the pre-season tests begin.
Additionally, Verstappen will try to reclaim the world champion trophy, as after his consecutive wins in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, in 2025 he finished in second place with just two points less than the winner, the British Lando Norris. Verstappen's new teammate at Red Bull will be Frenchman Isack Hadjar, who earned his seat to replace Japanese Yuki Tsunoda after his very strong 2025 season with Racing Bulls.
