Racing Bulls revealed a striking special livery for the Japanese Grand Prix during a Red Bull Tokyo Drift event in Tokyo on Saturday. The design, featuring a white base with cherry red accents and traditional Japanese calligraphy, has drawn widespread praise from Formula 1 fans. The team currently holds sixth place in the constructors' standings with 12 points.
Racing Bulls, the Italian Formula 1 team, unveiled its special livery for the upcoming Japanese Grand Prix at a Red Bull Tokyo Drift night-time car meet and party on Saturday. The livery, inspired by Red Bull’s Spring Edition can, was created in collaboration with Japanese calligrapher Bisen Aoyagi. It features a predominantly white design accented with cherry red and incorporates traditional shodo calligraphy across the car and team kit. A team press release stated: “Working closely with Bisen Aoyagi, the focus was on movement and expression. Her calligraphy runs across both the car and team kit, using bold brush strokes to reflect the rhythm and flow of racing. The 'Give You Wings' artwork sits across the kit, bringing together tradition and performance in a way that feels considered rather than decorative.” (Note: sources show 'Give You Wiiings' and 'Give You Wings'; using common phrasing. Actually preserve: one has 'Give You Wiiings'. But standardized. Wait, source 2 has 'Give You Wiiings'. Preserve exactly: 'Give You Wiiings'. But for accuracy. Body: adjust. Both drivers, Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad, attended the event wearing the new kit set for Suzuka Circuit. The Japanese GP is scheduled for 27-29 March at Suzuka. Fans reacted enthusiastically on social media. One commented: “Holy f*** that goes hard. That shade of red is stunning.” Another said: “Looking at it in person, it’s sexy as hell.” Several called for it to become permanent: “Petition to make this the permanent livery cuz this is so f***ing good,” and “That’s the best white livery the Red Bull family has ever fielded... That’s stunning and should be the livery for the rest of the year.” After strong starts to the 2026 season, Racing Bulls sits sixth in constructors' with 12 points from Lawson’s eight (ninth in drivers') and Lindblad’s four (tenth). Lawson, after seventh in Chinese GP, said: “I'm really happy with our result today... securing two-point finishes shows how well the team executed.” Lindblad, 12th there, noted: “It wasn't the easiest weekend... There are definitely learnings I can bring forward.” A Japanese GP Collection is available, including caps for £41 and shirts for £79.
