Red Bull unveils all-white race suits for US GP as fans demand matching livery
Red Bull has revealed striking all-white race suits with blue accents for the United States Grand Prix in Austin on 23-25 October, with Max Verstappen and Isack Hadjar modelling the new look — and fans are already clamouring for a one-off white car to match.
Red Bull has unveiled all-white race suits for the United States Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas, scheduled for 23-25 October, with four-time champion Max Verstappen and team-mate Isack Hadjar showing off the new design in a video posted to the team’s social media channels. The suits feature bold blue accents and vintage-style sewn-on partner badges, marking a sharp departure from the team’s usual colour scheme.
The reveal immediately sparked a wave of fan reaction calling for a matching one-off livery on the RB 22. “WHITE BULL NOW?!?! PLEASE??!?!!!” wrote one supporter, while another asked: “Just remembered we’ve not had a special livery of the RB 22 this year… anything cooking in COTA?” Red Bull has not confirmed whether a special car livery is planned, though the suit announcement has done little to dampen speculation.
The Austin race follows back-to-back wins for Verstappen, who dominated the Singapore Grand Prix weekend by claiming pole for the sprint race, winning it, and then taking pole and victory in the grand prix itself — the latter a first career win at the Marina Bay circuit.
Despite that momentum, Red Bull sit fourth in the constructors’ championship with 332 points, a significant distance behind leader Mercedes on 578. Ferrari are second with 444 points and McLaren third with 339.
In the drivers’ standings, Verstappen is fourth with 221 points, 119 adrift of championship leader Kimi Antonelli. Mercedes’ George Russell occupies second place and Ferrari’s Lewis Hamilton is third. Hadjar is eighth on 97 points, having missed three race weekends earlier in the season due to a wrist injury.
