2026 Car Liveries
Red Bull Racing
The former world champions who dominated the era of ground-effect cars, Red Bull Racing, kicked off the pre-season car livery launch season officially with their reveal on January 15.
It was held in Detroit, USA, as part of their new power unit partnership with Ford and revealed a striking, yet similar, Red Bull. It features a lighter shade of blue for the main bodywork, whilst still keeping its iconic Red Bull on the roll hoop and nose.
Racing Bulls
At the same car launch as Red Bull, on January 15, due to being part of the Red Bull stable, Racing Bulls became the second constructor to launch their 2026 challenger.
The car itself remains fairly unchanged compared to last year’s contender, with a primarily white chassis and the iconic Red Bull on the roll hoop and nose. However, it features more dark blue colouring than it did previously.
Haas F1 Team
Haas F1, in their usual way, revealed their 2026 colours and their livery design through a series of digital renders and social media posts, marking them as the third team to reveal their car this season.
Their new livery will be predominantly white with spots of red and black, including on the Gazoo Racing logo which has been upgraded to the team’s title partner, moving away from MoneyGram.

Audi
The first of two new teams on the grid, Audi, unveiled their first livery ahead of their debut season in a live presentation in Berlin which was live-streamed for fans to watch.
Audi’s R26 remained relatively unchanged from its concept livery that was revealed back in December, with the new squad sporting a mixed colour palette of silver, red and black.

Mercedes
The Silver Arrows team revealed a striking, smooth livery for their championship contender. It maintained their black and silver colour scheme of recent years, with the Petronas green separating the two colours. The engine cover itself continued to display the brand’s iconic three-pointed star, which was dotted around the rear of the car.
The digital renders were the first taste of the new car by the Brackley-based squad, with an official launch expected in February.
Ferrari
The iconic red F1 team unveiled their 2026 contender through an online video presentation. The car remains to hold onto its predominantly red colour scheme, but the white shade of the HP partnership has spread from the engine cover down to the cockpit.
Whilst the Italian squad revealed their car online, it wasn’t long before they got out on track as the team fired up and completed a small shakedown on their private circuit that same day.
Alpine
It was an F1-first for Alpine as, in partnership with MSC, the team showcased their car on a ship ahead of the first week of testing, for the shakedown week. However, the car remains relatively unchanged from last year with the Alpine blue being mixed with the BWT pink.
Williams
Despite missing the shakedown week, Williams became the eighth team to reveal their livery. The team’s 2026 car still kept its usual blue colour scheme but also incorporated a light shade of blue and silver on the side pod.
Whilst missing shakedown wasn’t a great start to the season for the team, they will be set to join the rest of the grid in Bahrain for the second week of testing this year, after shaking down the car at Silverstone. However, the team are still expected to run their ‘flow-state’ livery for the remaining pre-season tests.

Cadillac
After running a special livery in Barcelona, Cadillac became the last newcomer to unveil its livery with an advert during the National Football League half-time show.
It is a contrasting livery by the American squad, with one side being white while the other side is black, and vise versa as the colours change down the side. It also incorporates the Cadillac logo on the engine cover.

Pre-Season livery launches
Cadillac
In their debut pre-season test, new arrivals Cadillac are set to run a black livery for the Barcelona test, which will feature a large Cadillac logo on the engine cover.
The team is set to officially reveal their 2026 colours on February 8, during the Super Bowl, as part of the National Football League’s (NFL) coverage.
Williams
Ahead of the pre-season tests and car liveries, Williams gave their fans a chance to vote for the team’s testing livery – a choice of six designs.
The ‘Flow State’ won in the vote, featuring navy blue lines on a white background, with some spots of solid blue on the rear of the sidepod and rear wing.
The team will officially reveal their official livery on February 3.
McLaren
At the start of the pre-season test, McLaren revealed a striking black livery which the team utilised throughout testing in Barcelona. The team are expected to reveal their 2026 livery ahead of the first bout of pre-season testing in Bahrain.
