Red Bull has unveiled all-white race suits for the upcoming Formula 1 United States Grand Prix in Austin, hinting that a matching one-off livery could also be introduced for the race at the Circuit of the Americas.
Four-time champion Max Verstappen and his team-mate Isack Hadjar showed off the new race suits in a video shared on the team’s social media platforms. The white design features bold blue accents and vintage-style sewn-on partner badges.
