The 2026 Formula 1 season is about to begin after undergoing a big regulation change. The cars will not only look different in terms of their shape, but also in how they are painted. Here are the liveries announced for this season. Liveries for the 2026 season
The first livery announcements for the 2026 season came courtesy of Red Bull and
Racing Bulls at a special event held in Detroit, Michigan.
Red Bull showcased this new partnership with an impressive new colour scheme. Plenty of blue throughout the RB22 wowed people, and a hint of gloss also harked back to previous designs.

Racing Bulls also had accents of blue in their 2026 livery to mark the new Red Bull Ford power units they will use,
but the Italian team stuck with their white-based colour scheme.

On 23 January, two new liveries were revealed.
Ferrari hosted its event in Fiorano and also completed its traditional shakedown, while Alpine launched its new challenger in Barcelona.
The latest team to reveal its car was
