Inside the dangerous 2026 Red Bull livery reveal stunt and how it almost went wrong

Red Bull's 2026 livery was revealed exactly how you'd expect from the energy drink brand: through an adrenaline-spiked feat of aerobatics. Czech aerobatic specialist and 2018 Red Bull Air Race world champion Martin Šonka used a low cobra manoeuvre to tear the cover of the RB22 show car ahead of its Detroit launch.

Alongside the reveal of the Racing Bulls livery, Red Bull kicked off the season in style at Michigan Central Station with the squad leaning into the reset that's coming to Formula 1 this year. These new regulations will coincide with a new works power unit for Red Bull with Ford, while the livery pays tribute to the team's history.
