Red Bull’s livery for this season revealed in Detroit

Verstappen impressed by car’s ‘retro look’

Red Bull formally began their tilt at the forthcoming Formula One season, unveiling the livery for their challenger, the RB22, alongside drivers Max Verstappen and Isack Hadjar in a showcase event in Detroit on Thursday.

Before a highly anticipated season, with a swathe of big rule changes presenting a challenge across the grid, Red Bull are the first in what is due to be a hectic period of launches before pre-season testing begins.

The four-time champion Verstappen finished second in last year’s championship, two points behind McLaren’s Lando Norris, but the Dutchman had to extract the maximum from a car that was off the pace for the opening half of the season.
